19844 (2025). Benjamin Doyle to the Associate Minister of Education

19844 (2025). Benjamin Doyle to the Associate Minister of Education: What advice, reports, briefings or data did the Minister or his officials receive that shows taxpayer funding of "about $3.1billion" on Early Childhood Education, and "a similar amount" of fees paid by parents each year, if any?

Hon David Seymour: Titles of all advice that I have received has been, or will be, proactively released on the Ministry of Education website. https://www.education.govt.nz/our-work/information-releases/ My office receives a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. I do not consider this to be in the public interest.
