Ministerial Inquiries

Ross Francis made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was partially successful.

From: Ross Francis

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I have the following request for information.

Section 10 of the Inquiries Act 2013 states: “In exercising its powers and performing its duties under this Act, an inquiry and each of its members must act independently, impartially, and fairly.” Prior to the introduction of the Inquiries Act, were ministerial inquiries and their members required to act independently, impartially and fairly? Prior to 2013, were such inquiries and their members required to declare potential conflicts of interest? What rules and regulations (if any) applied to ministerial inquiries that were established prior to 2013?

In regards to any rules and regulations that may have applied to ministerial inquiries prior to 2013, please supply me with all records held by your department.

Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Ross Francis
