9349 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Housing

9349 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Housing: What property leases, if any, have been entered into, renewed, or exited by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, address, annual rent, lease term, and whether the decision to enter, renew, or exit was part of a broader office consolidation programme?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that providing the Member with this information would require a considerable amount of time to collate. Therefore, in accordance with Speaker’s ruling 210/6, I consider that the time and expense of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest. However, I can confirm that information on office leases used by Kāinga Ora and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has previously been provided in its responses to Annual Reviews, which are publicly available on Parliament’s website.
