16940 (2026). Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan to the Minister of Education: What reports, briefings, emails, memos, aides-memoire, notes or written advice, if any, has the Minister received regarding the conveyance allowance since 1 January 2026?
Hon Erica Stanford: The briefings I have received since 1 January 2026 regarding school transport conveyance allowance are listed below:
· 13 March 2026 – Report: Review of school transport
· 16 April 2026 – Information Update: Further Fuel Q&As
· 20 April 2026 – Rapid Response: Additional material for the Minister’s post-Cabinet announcement.
Additionally, I received a briefing with a draft Cabinet paper attached from the Ministry of Education:
• 15 April 2026 – Information Update: Updated Cabinet Paper on Investment Package to support schools through fuel supply uncertainty
I took this paper, titled: Phase 1 Plan to support schools through the impacts of fuel supply uncertainty, to Cabinet on 20 April 2026.
This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate the material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
