National Party leader Simon Bridges has apologised to Housing New Zealand tenants who were evicted on "dud advice" about meth contamination when his party led the Government.
Speak to Radio New Zealand this morning, Bridges said questions had been asked of Housing New Zealand, Ministry of Health and Standards New Zealand of the meth standard applied at the time.
"[We got] ultimately, it now seems clear from Sir Peter Gluckman, dud advice.
"I'm sorry that the advice that we got was wrong, and it made the situation what it is."
Bridges said the previous government had been sceptical about the meth level being applied by Housing New Zealand and had been frustrated by the advice that was being given.
