Dear [personal info],
This is from Michelle White <[email address]>

to me
Hi Robert
All Members of Parliament (MPs) are responsible for selecting one Youth MP to represent them at Youth Parliament 2013. As such, there are a variety of selection processes undertaken by MPs .
The Ministry of Youth Development assists MPs by providing some guidelines around the criteria for Youth MPs to ensure some level of consistency. Because each MP is responsible for selecting their Youth MP, it is at their discretion whether to use these criteria. One criteria is that Youth MPs are aged between 16 and 18 years (inclusive). It is clear that the MPs you have contacted have made the decision to use this criteria.
It is important to understand that meeting the criteria that each MP sets for their Youth MP does not guarantee a place in Youth Parliament. Meeting the criteria allows a young person to be included in that MPs selection process. It is likely that MPs will receive applications from a number of young people interested in participating in Youth Parliament. They will then undertake a process for selecting their chosen candidate to represent them as their Youth MP at Youth Parliament.
There is the opportunity for ten young people aged between 16 and 24 years (inclusive) to apply to become part of the Youth Press Gallery. Similar to the Youth MP opportunity, meeting the criteria for Youth Press Gallery members does not guarantee a position, but allows a young person to be included in the selection process. We anticipate a number of applications from young people which will be considered for the ten Youth Press Gallery positions available. You are welcome to consider this opportunity.
We trust this answers your questions regarding Youth Parliament criteria and selection process. It is great that you are interested in Youth Parliament and once again you are welcome to consider the Youth Press Gallery opportunity. Please note the closing date for applications to be received is 5 April 2013.
Regards
Michelle (on behalf of the Youth Parliament team)
Yours sincerely,
Robert Patrick Junior Zimmerman
