48234 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What was the length of time between the completion of the LEK Consulting review of July 2025 and the first substantive programme decisions made in response, and what impact, if any, did this pause have on the National Ticketing System's delivery milestones?

Hon Chris Bishop: The LEK review was received in a draft form in mid-July 2025, by which time a Governance Board and programme management reset was already underway. The first substantive decisions were taken by the programme’s Governance Board before the end of July 2025.
