Hon Judith Collins: I am advised the following: Ministry of Defence and New Zealand Defence Force personnel and staff regularly travel domestically and internationally as part of delivering major capability projects and international engagements. Detailed information about domestic and international travel spend is published annually as part of the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee’s annual financial review of the Ministry of Defence and the New Zealand Defence Force. Details for the previous financial year are provided in the agencies’ responses to written questions, which are published as evidence on this page of the Parliament website: https://selectcommittees.parliament.nz/v/1/be67b22b-aced-4614-2e95-08dce960f5d1/. Details for the current financial year are expected to be published in the Estimates Review by select committees during the upcoming Scrutiny Week commencing 16 June.
