4012 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister

4012 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his statement “We have a very competitive ECE market if parents don't- if ECEs were to gouge and take their prices up, they will move”, and if so, on what advice, by title and date, was this statement made?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Since receiving my Ministerial Warrant on 27 November 2023, in my capacity as the Prime Minister, I have received advice from the Policy Advisory Group, a business unit of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet relating to this matter, however I am not releasing the title of this briefing.
