2440 (2025). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Associate Minister of Education: What reports, briefings, emails, memos, aides-memoire, notes or written advice, if any, has the Minister and/or his Office received regarding the amount of food waste in the ka ora, ka ako lunches programme for the month of January 2025; listed by title and date received?
Hon David Seymour: I have not received any written advice regarding the amount of food waste in the Ka Ora, Ka Ako lunches programme for the month of January 2025. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
