4.7 Number of copies to be lodged
It is the originating department's responsibility to provide the

lodgements.
For first lodgement copies of Cabinet submissions, fifteen copies are
required to be lodged on plain white paper.
The number of final Cabinet submissions required to be lodged on

4.7.1 Number of copies to be lodged for Cabinet Committees
In relation to Cabinet Committee submissions, the number of copies required
will vary according to the membership of the Committee and whether other
Ministers or advisors are invited to attend a meeting in relation to an issue.
The Cabinet Secretariat will need to be consulted concerning the number of
copies required.
In relation to the CBRC, departments are required to lodge twelve first
lodgement copies and 25 final lodgement copies of submissions with the Cabinet
Secretariat.
Final submissions are to be copied onto the correct colour paper as described
