Government Communications Security Bureau Bill

, on behalf of the Prime Minister: I move, That it be an instruction to the Committee of the whole House on the Government Communications Security Bureau Bill that it take the bill part by part and consider any schedules as one question.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Can I withdraw ACT’s vote? We are voting in favour of the motion.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): That is out of order.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. The member might want to seek leave to have the vote put again. That would be the tidiest way of proceeding.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): Does the member seek leave for the vote to be put again?

HEATHER ROY (ACT NZ): Yes, I would like to seek leave to do that.

The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): The member is seeking leave. Is there any objection to that course of action being taken? There appears to be none.

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I do not think there is any necessity to have a party vote. Just an oral vote would tidy the situation up.

Motion agreed to.
