What is the policy governing the use of Crown VIP vehicles for party political or campaign purposes, and when was it last reviewed?
Answered by
Rt Hon Christopher Luxon
Member for Botany · National Party · Minister responsible for Ministerial Services
Answer
The Ministers Travel Services within New Zealand Determination 2023 determines the use of Crown VIP vehicles. Clause 2.1 states that a Minister may use a chauffeur-driven car arranged by VIP Transport at any time for any purpose, at the Ministers discretion. This determination came into force on 15 October 2023 and is currently being reviewed as required under the Parliament Act 2025.
