4015 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his statement “It'll be as quickly as possible. IRD will make sure we operationalise that as quickly as possible to get the funds back into people's bank accounts each quarter”, and if so, what advice has he received, by title and date, on how long will it take from a reimbursement application being received by IRD till that reimbursement is received by the applicant?

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.
