In addition to the first part of my answer to WPQ 9760 (2026), I have been advised by Ministerial Services that they do not record hospitality expenditure in the format requested by the Member. I therefore refer the Member to the Department of Internal Affairs’ website that proactively released quarterly credit card statements and reconciliations for Ministers and Ministerial office staff here: https://www.dia.govt.nz/Ministers-expense-releases
