18510 (2026). Hon Dr Megan Woods to the Minister for Regional Development: Is the statement that the $200 million gas exploration fund is "fully subscribed" as reported on 1 May 2026 on BusinessDesk accurate, and if so, on what date did it become fully subscribed?

Hon Shane Jones: As at 24 April 2026, the value of the investment proposals received exceeded $200 million, however, as no investment decisions have been entered into at this time, the fund is not fully subscribed.
