From: P Robins
Dear Simon Watts,

Thank you for contacting Hon Simon Watts, Member of Parliament for North
Shore, Minister of Climate Change and Minister of Revenue.
The Minister considers all correspondence important but as he receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to provide a
personal response.
Please note the following guidelines:
· If you are a North Shore constituent contacting the Minister
about an issue, then your email will be passed to his electorate office.
· Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be
considered and a staff member will be in touch with you in due course.
· Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include a
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.
Thank you once again for taking the time to write; it is very much
appreciated.
The Office of Hon Simon Watts
