55259 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: Is it her view that a cover note from a Treasury Private Secretary based in her office constitutes enough formal advice to spend $27 million in the Hutt South electorate?

Hon Nicola Willis: I considered advice from both the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and Kainga Ora before making the decision.
