3300 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Education: How much, if any, have the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, budgeted for the carbon neutral government programme for the 2026 calendar year?

Hon Erica Stanford: I am advised that the Ministry of Education has not yet set a budget for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme for the 2026 calendar year. NZQA budgeted $10,000 on the carbon neutral government programme for the 2025/2026 financial year ENZ budgeted $15,700 on the carbon neutral government programme for the 2025/26 financial year. ERO budgeted over the financial year, and budgeted $12,500 across the 23/24, 24/25, and 25/26 periods for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme.
