Thank you for contacting Hon Nicola Grigg, Minister of State for Trade and
Investment, Minister for Women, Associate Minister of Agriculture,
Associate Minister for ACC and MP for Selwyn. 
 
The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
taking the time to write.  Please note that as Minister Grigg receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to all emails.
 
Therefore, the following guidelines apply:
 

* Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed
as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in
due course.

 

* Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.

 

* Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.

 

* If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be
no further response to you.

 

* If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament
for Selwyn, this will be referred to the electorate office.

Kind regards,
