The paper also recommends that only company sales over $250 million be investigated, and that the Overseas Investment Commission be abolished in favour of Land Information New Zealand.
Dr Cullen confirmed he had received a paper containing the recommendations but said that did not mean they would be acted upon.
"(This) is about a Treasury paper which isn't even what is going to be going to cabinet when I finally finish having my discussions and drafting, which isn't yet," he said.
