Answer

For Invest New Zealand, I am advised no board member has needed to be excluded from any agenda item because of a conflict of interest. One board member was an apology for one Board meeting which included 7 agenda items. For New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), I refer the Member to the attached table. For NZTE I am advised no board member has needed to be excluded from any agenda item because of a conflict of interest. I am further advised a record of agenda items is not centrally held by NZTE. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time and resources, and hence the expense, required to collate this information since November 2023, within the timeframe allowed for a written parliamentary question, is not in the public interest.
