49899 (2024). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology: What funding or support, if any, will be provided to researchers and companies to help them comply with new regulations in gene technology?

Hon Judith Collins: The new regime will reduce restrictions on gene technologies, so compliance costs are not expected to increase. The regulator will issue guidance to support applicants in navigating the new system.
