While the principles and purposes behind these regulations are well supported, there are a number of points which would benefit from clarification. First, on enforcement and capacity, the Agricultural Supply Chain Adjudicator will now take on oversight of these regulations alongside its role in the dairy sector, potentially with others to follow. Given the additional responsibilities now placed on this body, can the Minister confirm whether its resourcing and operational capacity have been formally reviewed, and what additional resources—both financial and staffing—might be required to cover these regulations?
