Dear Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga,

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?

Yours faithfully,

Ross Francis
