30321 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: What is the average and longest length of time children spent in emergency housing before a Priority One social housing placement?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised that the Ministry is unable to provide the information sought by the Member within a written parliamentary question timeframe as it would take substantial effort and require the Ministry to divert personnel from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions within this timeframe is not in the public interest.
