Each Urgent Question requires a Government Minister to give a response on the debate topic.

What estimate has the Minister made of the damage done to the bakery industry as a result of announcing a policy that has now been reversed?

Given that the policy does not come into effect until 1 October, we do not think any damage will have been done through the policy. We think that addressing the anomalies is the right thing to do, and we have taken the opportunity to improve the policy we initially announced.
