Visits to Schools: Previous Ministers
Matthew Hooton made this Official Information request to Ministry of Education
Response to this request is long overdue. By law Ministry of Education should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.
From: Matthew Hooton
Dear Ministry of Education,
Based on Ministry of Education briefing notes and other records, please provide a list of all the schools each of the following Ministers of Education visited during their first 252 days as Minister (or, if their term was less than 252 days, all the schools they visited during their term):
* Hon. Nikki Kaye
* Hon. Hekia Parata
* Hon. Anne Tolley
* Hon. Chris Carter
* Hon. Steve Maharey
* Rt Hon. Trevor Mallard
* Hon. Nick Smith
* Hon. Wyatt Creech
* Rt Hon. Sir Lockwood Smith
* Hon. Phil Goff
* Rt Hon. Sir Geoffrey Palmer
* Rt Hon. David Lange
For each school, please provide the date or - if that is not clear, just the month - of the visit.
Please note I fully understand that for the earlier-serving ministers, there may need to be a delay in your response, but please respond separately and as soon as reasonably practicable for the more recent ministers.
Please also note that I fully understand the information you provide may necessarily be incomplete as it is possible the relevant minister may have visited schools without the ministry being aware at the time or having retained a record.
To assist you in a speedy response, I am not requesting information on who the relevant minister met at the school or what was discussed.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Matthew Hooton
