51557 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Defence: How many, if any agencies for which the Minister is responsible have reduced staff numbers since 2023 while maintaining or increasing their total office space holdings?

Hon Judith Collins: The New Zealand Defence Force Work Force Savings process has not concluded. Any reductions in staff have yet to be finalised. The Ministry of Defence overall staff numbers have remained relatively consistent since 2023 which has meant that they have maintained their existing office space holdings/existing footprint.
