Dear Mr Francis,

 

Please find attached a combined response to your below request for
information (17/18-0022), and to your request to Archives New Zealand
(17/18-0024) as follows:

 

Are public inquiries (eg, a ministerial inquiry) bound by record-keeping
legislation, and are those administering public inquiries bound by
record-keeping legislation? Please provide all material held by Archives
NZ about this question.

 

What action (if any) can be taken by Archives NZ or another agency if
records are disposed of, or not created, in breach of the Public Records
Act?

 

Has Archives NZ or another agency investigated any alleged or apparent
breaches of the Public Records Act? If so, has Archives NZ or another
agency found an agency or ministry in breach of the Act?

 

In the financial year ending 2016, what proportion of its total budget did
Archives NZ spend on investigating apparent or possible breaches of the
Public Records Act?

 

Kind regards,

Dear Sirs,

 

I would like to make the following request for information.

 

Under the Inquiries Act 2013, are public inquiries bound by record-keeping
legislation, and are those administering public inquiries bound by
record-keeping legislation?

 

Please provide all material held by the Ministry about this question.

 

Have any inquiries been established since the introduction of the

Please advise if you have any queries regarding my request.
