9463 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Rail: What hui, conferences, away-days, or staff events, if any, costing more than $10,000 in total have been held by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, event name or purpose, date, location, number of attendees, and total cost?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: The Minister is not responsible for any departments, agencies, ministries or entities. The Minister for Rail is a shareholding Minister in operationally independent State Owned Enterprises (KiwiRail and the New Zealand Railways Corporation) and a Schedule 4a Public Finance Act company (Ferry Holdings). Information related to their operations are held by these companies directly, not by the Minister. As such, operational information should be requested directly from those entities and cannot be sourced at the level of detail requested within the standard response timeframe of Written Parliamentary Questions.
