58299 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti: How much, if any, did the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, spend on christmas, holiday, end of year, and any other types of celebratory functions or parties during November and December in 2022?

Hon Tama Potaka: This question relates to a period before the transfer of the Māori Crown Relations functions to Te Puni Kōkiri on 24 February 2025. I am advised that Te Puni Kōkiri consulted Ministry of Justice as it does not hold this information. The Ministry of Justice reply is "Te Arawhiti is incorporated in the answer by my colleague the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations to the same question." I refer the Member to Hon Paul Goldsmith's answer to written question 58406 (2025).
