30751 (2023). Hon Jo Luxton to the Associate Minister of Agriculture: What has been the total percentage increase or decrease for all of the Minister’s relevant Ministries, Agencies and Departments spend on contractors and consultants since 27th November 2023, to the week of 4th December 2023?

Hon Mark Patterson: I am advised that the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) are still processing their December accounts. Suppliers are yet to submit their invoices for December; until invoices have been received, MPI is unable to determine amounts spent on contractors and consultants from 27 November 2023 to the week of 4 December 2023. Information regarding MPI’s contractor and consultant spend will be available in upcoming Annual Review answers published in March 2024.
