7063 (2006). Craig Foss to the Speaker of the House of Representatives (16 Jun 2006): How quickly can Parliamentary Service check all emails for a leak, and is there a full text index over all emails and attachments?
Hon Margaret Wilson (Speaker of the House of Representatives) replied: HON MARGARET WILSON (Speaker) replied: The Parliamentary Service cannot easily, or necessarily, check all e-mails for a leak. The time to check emails that can be checked varies, and depends on the existence and ease of recovery of an identifiable log record; and the existence and ease of recovery of a recoverable copy of an email. The time to do this can vary widely. At present there is no full text index of all emails and attachments sent from the Parliamentary Service network.
