38255 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Conservation

38255 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Conservation: Since 27 November 2023, what is the total sum, if any, spent on wages for any contractors and consultants who have been previously employed in a different capacity at any ministries, agencies and/or departments for which the Minister is responsible, broken down by month, as at 4 August 2025?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by the Department of Conservation that its systems are not configured to easily provide this information and to extract this manually would require significant manual collation that is not possible within the timeframes allowed for in responding to written questions. I am therefore unable to provide the detail requested, in accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 199/6.
