The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you

large amount of correspondence it is not always possible to personally
reply to all emails.

 

The following guidelines apply:

your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with more
appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then this will be noted.

 

• 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.  Please note this email is an acknowledgment that your
invitation/request has been received.

 

• 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, 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 email expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple Members
of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your correspondence may
