OBITUARIES
Hon Dr Richard Worth
SPEAKER: I regret to inform the House of the death on 10 May 2022 of the Hon Dr Richard Westwood Worth VRD, who represented the Epsom electorate from 1999 to 2005 and continued to serve as a list member until 2009. During his membership of this House, he chaired the Regulations Review Committee and served as Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister for Land Information, Minister responsible for Archives New Zealand, and Minister responsible for the National Library.
I desire, on behalf of the House, to express our sense of loss we have sustained and our sympathy with the relatives of the late former member. I now ask members to stand with me and observe a period of silence as a mark of respect to his memory.
Honourable members stood as a mark of respect.
