Kia ora Dan,

 

We have received and accepted full transfer of your email received 9^th
May 2025, in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as
follows:

 

“Under the Official Information Act 1982, I request the following
information from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC)
regarding the reported use of personal email accounts for ministerial
business by Hon. Erica Stanford and potentially other Ministers: The root
cause or causes identified by DPMC (or any relevant oversight body) that
led to the use of a personal email account by Hon. Erica Stanford for
ministerial matters, including pre-Budget documents. How and when this
issue was first detected, including whether it was identified through
internal monitoring, an external inquiry, an Official Information Act
request, or another channel. What actions have been taken or are planned
to address this incident and to prevent recurrence across Ministers or
other government officials (e.g. updates to the Cabinet Manual, training,
technical or security controls). A copy of any internal reports, reviews,
briefings, or correspondence (including emails and memos) held by DPMC
that relate to this incident. A copy of any emails sent from ministerial
or MP accounts to personal email addresses, covering the period from 1
January 2024 to 1 May 2025, where those emails relate to official
government or ministerial business.”

I believe the information you have requested is more closely connected to
the functions

 

Your request is being considered in accordance with the Act, and you can
expect a response by 9^th June 2025 (date determined by the [1]OIA
calculator).
