30326 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing

30326 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: How many of the children who left emergency housing motels since the Minister took office were classified as "priority one" exits, broken down by month?

Hon Tama Potaka: The Ministry of Social Development has advised that this information is not centrally recorded. Obtaining this information would require substantial manual collation and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering this part of the Member’s questions is not in the public interest.
