Emails to the Government and ministries

How electronic mail is dealt with

Incoming emails to ministers are received and registered by the senior registry clerk at the relevant ministry.

Ministers receive a large number of emails every day containing comments and questions. These are dealt with in various ways depending on the issues raised, the ministry they were sent to and the wishes of the individual minister. All emails are read, but due to time constraints, it is impossible to answer all of them or, for example, to assist students with research or fact-finding.

Official documents

In principle, all items of mail to the Government and Government Offices are official documents. This means that the general public and the media have the right to request access to their contents.
