13086 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Children: What is the total expenditure, if any, on domestic and international travel by any agencies under the Minister’s responsibility since 27 November 2023, broken down by agency, purpose, and destination?
Hon Karen Chhour: I refer the Member to question 95 - 97 of the 2023/24 Annual Review of Oranga Tamariki – Ministry for Children which will be publicly available on the Parliament website soon. I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that to provide this information for the specific date period requested would require significant manual collation. I am not prepared to ask this of my officials at this time. As such, in accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 199-3, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
