67766 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade been involved in any way with the Government's exit of the iReX contract; and if so, how?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: The Government is not exiting the iReX contract; the contract was signed by KiwiRail and HMD, not the Government. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has not been involved in KiwiRail’s discussions with HMD.
