During the term of the last Government, associate revenue minister Mr Cunliffe, was asked the same question we have asked of the Revenue Minister in the current Government, Mr Dunne, but still we receive no answer.

We know how much child support debt has been written off because it cannot be recovered from the estates of dead men. We have those figures for the past 6 years.

The question we have asked is how much money has the IRD recovered from the deceased estates of how many men in the past 6 years.

Why have two ministers in two governments refused to release this information?
