Hutchinson Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce Agriculture, and Fisheries has resigned over concerns of a land deal between Holland Producers Limited and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Lola  Marshal- Williams has resigned from Holland Producers Limited after opposition spokesman on Agriculture Victor Wright called for the Integrity Commission to investigate what he describes as a ‘massive land grab’.
