26714 (2023). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Does the Minister intend to “legislate to make English the primary official language of New Zealand” as found on page 4 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister or any member of their Office received during the week of 27 November 2023, on this by title and date?

Hon Brooke van Velden: No decisions have been made regarding this aspect of the coalition agreement, including which portfolio it will sit under. I did not receive any documents or advice on this matter in the week of 27 November 2023.
