Finance Minister Michael Cullen and Maori Affairs Minister Parekura Horomia were briefed today by Ernst and Young and

helm.
“Ernst and Young are putting out a press statement at midday tomorrow.
“We were encouraged by their preliminary conclusions,” the Ministers said.
“The question of where responsibility lay for running security and credit checks on senior management appointees will be
dealt with in a second report to be delivered late next week.
“We will not be making any comment until we have received that report and considered its contents,” the Ministers said.
