12179 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: What plans, if any, are in place to deal with the eventuality that running the Ministry of Education’s school routes is forced to discontinue due to the fuel crisis?

Hon Erica Stanford: The Ministry of Education is planning ahead across the education system, including school bus routes, to ensure continuity through each phase of the New Zealand Fuel Response Plan. This is also my response to written parliamentary questions 12181 and 12185 (2026).
