29796 (2023). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology: Does the Minister intend to “streamline approvals for trials and use of non-GE/GM biotech” as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Harnessing Biotech’ document, and if so, what advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister, or any member of their Office commissioned on this by title and date?

Hon Judith Collins: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio.
