BUSINESS STATEMENT
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): Legislation to be considered next week will include the include the remaining stages of the Appropriation (2022/23 Supplementary Estimates) Bill together with all stages of the Imprest Supply (First for 2023/24) Bill, the first reading of the Ngāti Tara Tokanui Claims Settlement Bill, second readings of the Therapeutic Products Bill and the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill, the committee stage of the Fuel Industry Amendment Bill, the third readings of the Charities Amendment Bill and the Worker Protection (Migrant and Other Employees) Bill, and the remaining stages of the Deposit Takers Bill. Wednesday will be a members’ day, and, as advised to the Business Committee, there will be an extended sitting of the House on Thursday morning.
Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): I thank the Leader of the House for that update. I know we started this year one members’ day shy, given the events of December, and I’m not entirely sure we have caught that up. So notwithstanding that and knowing that the Government has an ambitious plan to get its legislation through before 31 August, can he reassure the House that there will be the requisite number of members’ days between now and then?
Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Leader of the House): I thank the shadow Leader of the House for his intervention. I’ll certainly go back and check where we’ve got to, and I’m happy to have a discussion about that matter at the Business Committee next week.
