11160 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: How much, if any, did the Minister’s relevant Ministries, Agencies and Departments spend on contractors and consultants during the week of 6 May 2024 by organisation?

Hon Shane Jones: Hon Todd McClay has responsibility for the Ministry for Primary Industries. I am however advised that the Ministry for Primary Industries is unable to report contractor and consultant expenditure actually incurred for the period of a week as invoices are often received after the period worked, often cover a monthly duration, and do not provide weekly breakdowns, and several contracts and payment arrangements are milestone based rather than weekly work activity.
