54501 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: What role, if any, did the Minister have in the New Zealand Banking Association's tool that will help banks, from 30 November 2025, to "meet their commitment to warn customers if they are about to send money to a high risk account", and if none, why did he mention it in his press release of 17 November?

Hon Scott Simpson: I refer the member to my response to written question 54499 (2025).
