Answer

With regard to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), I refer the member to my response for Written Parliamentary Question 49318 (2025) for the number of contractors previously employed by MBIE. Due to this staff count, I am withholding the total cost spent to protect the privacy of natural persons. With regard to New Zealand Growth Capital Partners, I am advised the answer is nil.
