Answer

I refer the Member to the list below of the advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents, my office or I received during the week beginning 19 July 2026. Tertiary Education Commission 22 July 2026 - December 2025 First-year Fees Free enrolments update 24 July 2026 - Ministers Priorities Report dated 23 July 2026 New Zealand Qualification Authority 22 July 2026 - NZQA Fortnightly Report to the Minister for Tertiary Education Ministry of Education 20 July 2026 - Speech and Q&As for Master Joiners Event 5 August 2026 22 July 2026 - Vote Tertiary Education 2026/27 Post-Hearing Written Questions 76-96 – draft responses 23 July 2026 - International PhD Enrolments Current State 23 July 2026 - Tertiary Education Weekly Update 23 July 2026 24 July 2026 - Draft press release on Minister Simmonds’ upcoming China visit Some titles have been withheld as they are sensitive in nature and are not in the public interest to release at this time. This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
