Subject: Official Information request - Use of Personal Email Accounts by
Ministers for Official Business

Tēnā koe,

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.

Yours faithfully,

Dan
