-Friday 18 June 2010

Prime Minister the Hon. John Key today released a follow-up report from the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, the Hon. D.P. Neazor, about personal files and other records held by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS).

The two main issues in the report are about the files kept on Members of Parliament, and about collecting, retaining and destroying personal records.

The Inspector-General’s report reveals that the NZSIS has addressed all the recommendations from last year’s report, has good current practices and systems in place, and is working on further protocols for dealing with information. Most of the Inspector-General’s report deals with NZSIS practices around the collection, retention and destruction of records. He is satisfied with current and proposed practices.
