Act's David Seymour says a unit for verifying the costs of pre-election political policy promises - would add more bureaucracy.

Act and New Zealand First torpedoed a proposal by Finance Minister Nicola Willis to publicly fund such a service.

National declined Labour’s offer of support.

Seymour claims his Party managed to release a fully costed alternative Budget without it.

He says he doesn't like the idea that people need bureaucracy to tell them what is good or accurate.
