Dear OIA_Requests (OT),

My request did not ask whether the Ministry had specifically and directly been instructed "to "have their primary name in English, and communicate primarily in English”.

Instead my request encompassed all communications, including any internal communications by the Ministry related to giving effect to the Coalition Governments published policy in it's coalition agreements, regarding public sector organization's having their primary name in English and communicating primarily in English.

Please can you confirm that your is still accurate, and covers any internal communications by the Ministry to date regarding the Coalition Government's published policy in the Coalition Agreements on this matter?

Yours sincerely,

John
