Answer

Each year, the Public Service Commission (along with other Public Service departments and departmental agencies) are required to report on communication expenses through Select Committee Estimates questions. I refer the member to this publicly available information on the Parliament website at the following link: https://www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/submissions-and-advice/document/54SCGOA_EVI_d7846180-2b1a-4ac6-cdc7-08dd9cbad1c0_GOA37369/minister-for-the-public-service-responses-to-supplementary
