The Trade Minister's shrugging off comments by Winston Peters and says it's time to seal the deal. 

The New Zealand First leader strongly opposes the Free Trade Agreement with India, which the Government is signing in New Delhi next week despite not having the numbers to pass it into law. 

He fears it'll lead to rising immigration, which the National Party rejects. 

Trade Minister Todd McClay told Mike Hosking there's no problem asking questions, but the Government needs to move on and get the deal in place. 

He says the legal scrub's been done and it's being put in Parliament, as National wants it in force as soon as possible.
