58524 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Trade and Investment: How much, if any, has the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, budgeted on christmas, holiday, end of year, and any other types of celebratory functions or parties during November and December in 2025?

Hon Todd McClay: I am advised New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) contributed $30 NZD per employee towards a holiday celebration. NZTE also recognised performance across its globally based people via an online call. I am advised $10 NZD is budgeted per employee for catering following this call. For Invest NZ, I am advised nil.
