13129 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Customs: What is the total cost, if any, of outsourced research or reports commissioned by any agencies under the Minister’s responsibility since 27 November 2023, broken down by agency, purpose, and provider?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that the New Zealand Customs Service (Customs) is unable to provide this information on total cost of outsourced research or reports broken down by provider and purpose without undertaking substantial collation and I consider that the expense of answering your question is not in the public interest.
