37297 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport

37297 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Further to reply 33496 (2026), for each project listed in the attachment to that reply, which valuation firms and negotiating agents did the NZ Transport Agency engage for property acquisitions, and has the NZ Transport Agency identified any conflict of interest, prior commercial relationship, or related-party connection between any engaged valuer or agent and a property vendor, broken down by project?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that responding to the information sought would require substantial collation, review, and processing. This would divert officials from their core duties. In accordance with Speakers’ Rulings 210/6, I consider that the time and expense involved would not be in the public interest and would not represent an efficient or proportionate use of officials’ resources.
