❓ Question Hon Phil Twyford (New Zealand Labour Party — Member for Te Atatū)
Time unknown

I rise to correct my answer to a supplementary question in question No. 9 on 22 October.

💬 SPEAKER: The Minister seeks leave to make a correction. Is there any objection? There is no objection. The Minister may proceed.

I was asked whether I stand by my statement that no one on the New Zealand Transport Agency board asked to stay on. At the time, I recalled that I had asked Mark Darrow to stay on the board until February 2020 in the interests of continuity; so I answered “yes”. Since then, I have reviewed my correspondence, and in May, in response to my request that he stay on the board for a short time, Mark Darrow said he would be interested in staying on for a second term.
