31273 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Statistics: How much, if any, have the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, budgeted for the carbon neutral government programme in the 2026/27 financial year?

Hon Scott Simpson: I am advised that Stats NZ does not have any explicit budget for the carbon neutral government programme in 2026/27, other than $8,000 (exc. GST) for the independent audit of its emissions report as required under the programme.
