Comparing state house construction

Andrew Riddell made this Official Information request to Nicola Willis

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Andrew Riddell to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Andrew Riddell

Dear Nicola Willis,

A Radio New Zealand report of your comments on the recently released report on pay equity by the unoffical select committee includes the following attributed to you:

Willis said the coalition had built more new state homes this term than the last government had in a "previously comparable period".

What are the start and finish dates of this "previously comparable period"

How many state houses were built in this period, and how many have been built in this term of government?

When giving the numbers of state houses constructed, please categorise the state house numbers as houses that add to the state housing stock and houses that replace older state houses.

Thanks,

Andrew Riddell
