72379 (2024). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Finance: Since Budget 2024, what correspondence, if any, listed by subject, date, and sender, has the Minister or her Office had with the Treasury on the Between Budget Contingency?
Hon Nicola Willis: Treasury provides me with frequent updates to allowances and contingencies. However, releasing this information could prejudice Cabinet decision making and the budget process. I do not believe it is in the public interest to disclose further information to allowances or contingencies beyond what is already in the public domain. Financial decisions will be available in the Estimates of Appropriations and Supplementary Estimates of Appropriations next Budget day.
