[FYI request #6373 email] Dear J Cone
On behalf of Gabriel Makhlouf, Secretary to the Treasury, I acknowledge receipt of
your email requesting:
“Cabinet Minute CAB-17-MIN-0150.07: 2017 Budget Package: Vote Defence
(Technical Initiatives) http://www.treasury.govt.nz/downloads/pdfs/b17-info/b17-
3705546.pdf
refers on page 2 to the Minister of Defence as having "delegated authority from
the Investor Confidence Regime".
What is the legislative basis for the Investor Confidence Regime refered to
above?
What is its stated purpose?
Please may I have an etymology for "Investor Confidence" in this context? ie who
are the investors, and what are they intended to have confidence in?
What are its annual capital and operating budgets for the number of years, past
and future, for which data is readily available?
From what source(s) does that funding come?
Which members of parliament and publicly visible officials have delegated
authority from it?”
Your request was received by the Treasury on 21 August 2017 and will be dealt with in
accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act.
The Treasury may need to contact you to clarify your request. To facilitate this, and to
confirm your eligibility to make a request under section 12 of the Official Information
Act, would you please reply giving your personal email, phone number and postal
address.
The Treasury will not publish your personal contact details or use the information for
any reason other than processing your request. The personal information you provide
will be subject to the requirements of the Privacy Act 1993 and the Official Information
Act 1982.
Yours sincerely
Emma Davey
