56036 (2024). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Climate Change: Which Ministerial colleagues, if any, did the Minister, or his Office, consult with before taking the Cabinet Paper 'NDC – approval for officials to begin engagement with other countries (but not purchasing),' to Cabinet?

Hon Simon Watts: Ministerial feedback between actively considered papers are confidential until Cabinet decisions are made. I refer the member to the Cabinet Office circular on the consultation arrangements for this Government: https://www.dpmc.govt.nz/publications/co-24-2-national-act-and-new-zealand-first-coalition-government-consultation-and-operating-arrangements Papers remain confidential until they have been considered by Cabinet.
