Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

 

I wish to see the Briefings to the Incoming Minister of Internal Affairs
in the new government formed this month, from the National Librarian and
from the Chief Archivist.

 

If these form part of a wider Briefing from the Department of Internal

Yours faithfully,
