27411 (2023). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister of Agriculture: Does the Minister intend to “introduce a National Environmental Standard (NES) for commercial fruit and vegetable production so that growers will not need a resource consent to produce more food” as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Primary Sector Growth Plan’ document, and if not, why not?

Hon Todd McClay: I refer the member to my response for WPQ 27668 (2023)
