Foreign Trusts - MPs respond

17:08 pm on 3 May 2016

MPs are under pressure to disclose more about their tax affairs following the release of the Panama Papers last week. We asked them to come clean about any involvement offshore.

We put this question by email to all sitting MPs :

Do you currently have, or have you ever had, any connection to any trust registered in a country other than New Zealand?

Here are their replies:

Labour Party

David Cunliffe No - "It's categorical no, I don't have any foreign trusts, and never have had"
Clayton Cosgrove No - "I do NOT have and have never had any connection to any trust registered here in NZ or any other country."
Kelvin Davis No - "I wish"
