The Prime Minister says the Government's about-turn on conservation reform, came down to a mistake in wording.

Conservation Minister Tama Potaka has scrapped a controversial clause in the Government's reform, that would have allowed sales of protected land.

It follows public outcry, over Forest and Bird maps showing a large amount of land could be sold off under the clause.

Chris Luxon told Mike Hosking that the wording of the clause didn't reflect the Government's intentions.

He says the Government has made a mistake, and has corrected it.
