Motions — Nepal—Flooding and Landslides

I seek leave to move a motion without notice or debate on the floods in Nepal.

SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course of action being followed? There appears to be none.

Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: I move, That this House express its grave concern about the flooding and landslides in Nepal’s Rasuwa District and the Nepal-China border area; extend its deepest condolences to all those affected; stand in solidarity with local authorities undertaking search and rescue operations in the affected areas; and support the Government’s offer of New Zealand assistance, alongside international partners, once the requirements on the ground become clearer.

Motion agreed to.
