33163 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with Consumer NZ that people with children who may have been exposed by asbsestos affected sand products needed “clarity” on what to do; if so, what clarifications, if any, is the Minister or Government intending to issue?

Cameron Brewer: Advice to the public on what to do if they are exposed to asbestos is provided by Health New Zealand, based on expert advice. I am not seeking a change to this advice.
