My Department does not subscribe to either of the specified services and no official internal communication takes place on these applications.  

However, I confirm that accounts with both services were created on my behalf, to facilitate Green Party rather than Departmental business. The use of one of the specified services pre-dates my appointment as Minister, and I have not used the application for any Department or Government business since my appointment. I can also confirm advisers have used these services for Green Party business.
