Subject: Official Information request - Cigarette smoking on Ministry
worksites.

 

Dear Oranga Tamariki—Ministry for Children,

 

Under the legislated rule of society which is given the force of Law and
is commonly referred to as the "Official Information Act 1982" I require
the following information.

 

1. Is smoking cigarettes by Ministry employees prohibited or allowed on
Ministry worksites?

 

2. Are Ministry employees required to wash their hands and mouths after
smoking cigarettes before they engage with and have physical contact with
children in the Ministry's care? In particular babies?

 

3. Are Ministry employees required to deodorize themselves and their
clothing after smoking cigarettes before they engage with and have
physical contact with children in the Ministry's care? In particular
babies?

 

4. Are Ministry employees required to store their cigarettes and lighters
in safe locations where children in the Ministry's care are incapable of
accessing them?

 

I'm looking forward to your prompt and legally required response.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lance-Desmond: Lavery
