28404 (2024). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Attorney-General: When does the Minister expect their responsible agencies, if any, to implement the Initial Baseline Exercise?

Hon Judith Collins: Consistent with the Government's Savings Exercise Crown Law’s baseline will be reduced from next financial year 2024/25. Regarding Parliamentary Counsel Office, as part of the Government’s Fiscal Sustainability Programme, the Office has not been required to action any baseline savings in Budget 2024. However, the Office is continuing to review all operational functions to make appropriate general expenditure reductions and to ensure that any funding being spent is providing the most value.
