31514 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What weighting, if any, was given to benefit-cost ratios when assigning Roads of National Significance to each phase of the July 2026 Major Transport Projects Pipeline?

Hon Chris Bishop: BCR was not used as a standalone determinant of project phasing, and no weighting was applied solely for assigning projects to phases within the July 2026 MTPP.
