Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Dear Accident Compensation Corporation,

Much has been made of the accidental release of personal
information by government agencies.

I'm interested in situations where government agencies have
intended to release personal information.

For example to a private investigator, a credit agency etc.

My questions, with regard to the above, are

(a) Has your agency every released personal information to any
agency like a private investigator, credit agency, etc ?

(b) If information has been released, who has the information been
released to ?

(c) What personal information has been disclosed ?

(d) On how many occasions has this occurred ?

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

David Burgess
