26768 (2023). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: Does the Minister intend to “…increase the Accommodation Supplement for SuperGold card holders…” as found on page 18 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 commissioned on this by title and date?

Hon Louise Upston: Any changes would be the subject of future Budgets. In my capacity as Minister for Social Development and Employment, I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, a list of reports received by my office from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is regularly published on MSD's website. The lists of titles are available here: www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/information-releases/reports-to-minister/index.html. Papers I have received from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) will soon be published on: www.mbie.govt.nz/about/open-government-and-official-information/release-of-information/lists-of-ministerial-documents-by-portfolio/social-development-and-employment. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 26769 (2023).
