Subject: Official Information request - Lady Lydia Davis

Kia ora Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

Is Lady Lydia Davis entitled to use her title? She was the first wife of Sir Thomas "Tom" Davis, awarded the KBE by New Zealand in the 1981 New Years Honours, for services to medicine and the people of the Cook Islands, but I note their marriage had dissolved by this point and he had since married Pa Tepaeru Terito Ariki in 1979. Is Lady Lydia somehow entitled to use this title as she does on her website (http://www.nourishingbasics.com/Bio.html) - you'll no doubt notice this biography verifies her marriage to Sir Tom so there can be no doubt this is the same person.

Many thanks,

David Ritchie
