30753 (2023). Hon Jo Luxton to the Associate Minister of Agriculture: How much did the Minister’s relevant Ministries, Agencies and Departments spend on contractors and consultants during the week of 4th December 2023 by organisation?
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 in 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.
