Thank you for taking the time to contact Hon Brooke van Velden, MP for
Tāmaki, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Minister for Workplace Relations

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
provide a personal response. Where the Minister has portfolio
responsibility for the issues that you have raised, your correspondence
will be considered and responded to where appropriate.  

* If you are a Tāmaki resident contacting the Minister about an issue,
then your email will be passed to the Minister’s local team
* If your message is for advice, or if you have copied you email to
another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with more appropriate
portfolio responsibilities, then your message will be noted
* If you have invited the Minister to an event, then a member of staff
may contact you for more information. Please note we endeavour to
process invitations within 10 working days
* If you have made a request for official information, then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982
