On 4 April 2005, together with officials of my Department, I met representatives of Thom's Directories who are seeking changes to electoral law in so far as it relates to use of the register of electors for other than electoral or other statutory purposes. On 18 May 2005, I received from one of the representatives concerned correspondence about a newspaper article on the issue. Neither I, my office, nor the departmental officials concerned provided or arranged for briefing for this article.
