Up till August 2011 Mr Ede was employed by Ministerial Services and, in effect, was paid by the taxpayer.

The emails indicate Slater asked Ms Collins to get a prisoner moved to a different prison, while she was Minister of Corrections. Slater asked Collins to get him moved because he was friends with the prisoner's ex-wife, who wanted the man moved further away from their daughter who had been visiting him in prison.

Slater did not deny he had accessed the website in May 2011, and said: "I was certainly into the backend of the Labour Party's website,
