Answer

I am advised that, in the 2023/24 financial year, the New Zealand Customs Service’s (Customs) budget for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme was $40,000. At the conclusion of the 2023/24 financial year, Customs had spent $38,648 from this budget. Customs’ budget for the Carbon Neutral Government Programme is inclusive of the Border Executive Board Secretariat.
