Sir Thomas Eichelbaum
Ross Francis made this Official Information request to Andrew Little
The request was refused by Andrew Little.
From: Ross Francis
Dear Andrew Little,
I would like to make the following request.
In March 2000, the late Sir Thomas Eichelbaum was appointed to chair an inquiry into the Peter Ellis case. Please send me all communication between the Justice Minister (including communication between his private secretary) and Sir Thomas dated 1 February 2000 to 31 March 2000.
When was the Minister (or his private secretary) informed that Sir Thomas had been approached to take part in an inquiry into genetic modification?
When Sir Thomas’ inquiry was established, appointees were required to declare any actual or possible conflicts of interest. Did Sir Thomas declare any actual or possible conflicts of interest? Did the Minister (or his private secretary) ask Sir Thomas if he had any actual or possible conflicts of interest to declare?
Did the Minister consider anyone other than Sir Thomas to chair the inquiry? If so, who?
Please send me all records held about these matters. Please also send me a copy of Sir Thomas’ letter of appointment.
Please do not refer this request to the Justice Ministry.
Yours faithfully,
Ross Francis

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’
portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or
constituency matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would list:
date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will
be released. If you are a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet
with the Minister in your personal capacity, your name may also be
released. The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a
private residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the
provisions in the Official Information Act, including privacy
considerations. Under the Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a
copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to
be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of
your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned about the
release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please contact the
sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy at
