62092 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for the Public Service: Which Ministers, if any, have approached the Minister regarding the empty desks at their Ministries or Departments during their visits to those Ministries or Departments, and on what dates did they approach the Minister?

Hon Nicola Willis: I do not hold records of the dates of these conversations. I have regular free and frank conversations with my ministerial colleagues which in this instance I judge it is not in the public interest to disclose.
