This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Carl Wiggin to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Carl Wiggin

Dear David Seymour,

I have been reading that in the UK a minister was been found to have been using a personal email account for official business, that same thing has happened in USA.

I am interested in if this is happening in NZ.

Please provide a record of any/all emails forward between your offical email account and any personal email accounts.

A list of subject lines is all I need.
I accept that some subject lines may be redacted.

Please note I will be making same request to one or two other ministers.

Yours faithfully,

Carl Wiggin

Dear Carl,

 

I writing to ask whether you could clarify your request.

 

Does your request only include the subject lines of any emails that were
forwarded from the Minister’s work email account to his personal email
account?

 

Or are you also seeking the subject lines of any emails that were
forwarded from the Minister’s personal email account to his work email
account?

 

Kind regards,

Andrew Ketels.
