PO Box 1473
WELLINGTON
Courier address:
Level 5, Ministry of Commerce Building

The receipt of submissions will be acknowledged. Submitters are reminded that they should concentrate on those points where they can make a real contribution from their knowledge or expertise. Please keep submissions brief, to the point and with a summary of the content at the front. Please place any supplementary information in technical appendices.
Please keep the content to matters within the terms of reference.
Submissions should preferably be typed, and contain all you have to say. The Inquiry may invite persons (whether or not they have filed a submission) to appear to answer questions or provide further information. However a Ministerial Inquiry is an investigation, not a Court, and you may not receive such an invitation.
If you do not want to be considered for an invitation to attend and answer any inquiries, please state that with your submission. You will be advised by the Secretariat whether the Inquiry wishes you to appear.
A list of all submissions will be available from the Secretariat on request after the closing date.
If you wish to obtain copies of other submissions, these will be available from 20 May 1998 onwards for the cost of copying charge plus administration costs from Plan & Print, Newmarket, Auckland (see details above).
