    Further to Reply 8866 (2026), does the Minister accept that saying this information cannot be provided "within the timeframe required" is not the same as saying the information is not held by NZ Post; and will the Minister undertake to provide the number of Post Shop closures since 2020, broken down by initiating party, once NZ Post has had adequate time to compile it?

Answer

I can advise the member that information on the number of Post Shop closures since January 2020 will be provided to them when it is compiled.
