12617 (2026). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: What correspondence, if any, has she received from the Minister for Social Development regarding benefit reform options since 1 January 2026?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am not going to comment on individual proposals or advice at this stage, including whether or not they are being considered, as this would undermine the Budget and policy development and I do not believe that is in the public interest.
