12197 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Prime Minister: When, if at all, does he expect his Ministers, who recognise that they have a conflict of interest in making a decision, to discuss managing the decision making process with the Cabinet Office?
Rt Hon Christopher Luxon: Ministers are responsible for proactively identifying and reviewing possible conflicts of interests and ensuring that any conflicts of interest are addressed promptly (Cabinet Manual para 2.62). I expect them to seek advice from the Cabinet Office on management of any conflicts or possible conflicts as required.
