44006 (2025). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Associate Minister of Finance: How many (if any) ex gratia payments has the Natural Hazards Commission made each month in the past 12 months other than in respect of the “on sold” programme?

Hon David Seymour: I refer the Member to the attached table. These ex gratia payments are made to settle potential liability, to reimburse costs and fees, and to pay other costs, including temporary accommodation. I am advised that this data excludes payments related to the On-sold Programme but not covered by the Programme (e.g., temporary accommodation for On-sold applicants).
