39628 (2025). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Minister for Regulation: Did the Minister or any member of his office or staff release the letter that he wrote to Albert K Barume (relating to the Regulatory Standards Bill that is referred to in the letter of Winston Peters of 5 August 2025) to the media; if so, when?

Hon David Seymour: Yes. My office was advised the Special Rapporteur may issue a press release in relation to his communications with the Government and therefore my office took the opportunity to publicise my response as well.
