5513 (2024). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Speaker of the House of Representatives: What has been the total cost, if any, of purchasing and installing new equipment and furniture on the ninth floor of the Executive Wing of Parliament since 27 November 2023, by item?

Rt Hon Gerry Brownlee: The Parliamentary Service has a replacement and upgrade cycle which is conducted every year, especially after an election. This is done for all parties, and not necessarily at the request of a specific party. The upgrade of equipment and furniture for the ninth floor is $57,000 and involved the installation of permanent videoconferencing equipment.
