4021 (2024). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Prime Minister: Does he stand by his statement “So look, the reaction I've had from ECE providers is they are very excited about the prospect of getting money directly into their parents' bank accounts and actually supporting them to do that, and we don't expect them to raise prices at all”, and if so, what correspondence has he received on this by author and date?

Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Yes. Ministers receive a range of feedback from private individuals on policy initiatives through a range of channels, including in person.
