240: Provision of administrative and other support
You could also call this:
"Helping reviewers of intelligence and security laws do their job with support like administration and secretarial work"
When people review the intelligence and security laws, they need help to do their job. The Ministry of Justice gives them the help they need, like administrative and secretarial support, so they can do their review properly. You can find out more about the old laws that used to apply by looking at the Intelligence and Security services in the past.
The people who give this help must have a special security clearance. This means they have been checked to make sure they can be trusted with important information. The Prime Minister decides what level of security clearance they need.
This support helps the reviewers do their job effectively and efficiently, which is an important part of keeping New Zealand safe.
"Reviewers get to choose how they work, as long as they follow the rules."
