[0] => A Minister was responsible for the administration of the Government Life Insurance Department/Office/Corporation from 1896 to 1987.The governments ministerial involvement in monitoring its investment in Government Life Insurance from its establishment in 1869 until 1896 was met by the portfolio of Colonial Treasurer. By 1896, there was growing worldwide interest in the New Zealand government's large presence in the life insurance market in New Zealand. This may have led to the need for a separate portfolio. This continued until Government Life was made into a state owned enterprise in 1987.

[history] =>
Prior to the appointment of a Minister-in-Charge of administering Government Life Insurance Department, the Government Insurance Commissioner (known as the Government Annuities Commissioner from 1869-1874) was responsible to the Colonial Treasurer (1869-1902). Under the provisions of the 1869 Act, the Commissioner was prescribed certain powers, duties and authorities by the Governor that could not be exercised or performed by the Commissioner without the concurrence of the Colonial Treasurer. From 1874, the Commissioner had to report to Colonial Treasurer at end of each month on 'matters as shall be prescribed by regulations made by the Governor-in-Council. Annual reports on the accounts of the organisation were also required to be prepared and presented to the Colonial Treasurer.
For a brief period between 1884 and 1886 the Colonial Treasurer was Chairman of the Board of Directors when the Government Life Insurance Department became an incorporated Association. In 1886, Government Life reverted to being operated as a government department headed by a Commissioner of Life Insurance.
Richard John Seddon was the first responsible Minister in 1896.
In 1983 the Government Life Insurance Office became a state corporation, and the Government Life Insurance Corporation Act 1983 gave provision for a Minister in charge of the corporation. On 1 April 1987 the corporation became a state-owned enterprise, and responsibility for it passed to the Minister of Finance and Minister for State-owned Enterprises.
