41955 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Defence: Does the Minister personally review, or sign off, on all answers to Written Parliamentary Questions before they are lodged?

Hon Judith Collins: Given the number of WPQs received, it is not possible to personally review or sign off every single question, especially for repeat questions. My office is delegated the responsibility to review and sign these questions. However, I still review and approve more substantive written question answers as needed.
