29615 (2024). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: Were any representatives from Social Services or agencies present in a Budget Lock-Up session on 30 May 2024, if not, why not?

Hon Nicola Willis: There was no specific social sector agency lock-up. Budget lock-ups were for media, analysts, and political parties who for reasons of timeliness required access to Budget materials under embargo. All Budget materials were made available on the Budget website at 2pm.
