26289 (2023). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for the Public Service: Does the Minister intend to require all public service departments, Crown Entities and SOEs to “communicate in English except those specifically related to Māori” as found on 4 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if not, why not?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio.
