Work continues on replacement for Foreshore Act

6:03 am on 19 January 2010

Attorney General Chris Finlayson says work is progressing well on finding a replacement for the Foreshore and Seabed Act.

A review of the Act last year recommended it be scrapped.

A Radio New Zealand political reporter says the Government intends to repeal the legislation, as long as agreement can be reached on what to replace it with.

Mr Finlayson says he hopes to be in a position to make an announcement in the next month or so.
