as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in
due course

* All 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 Wellington Central, this will be referred to his electorate
