Points of Order — Rodney Hide—Apology to the House

I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Yesterday, before question time began, Rodney Hide sought leave of the House, and it was granted, to apologise for misleading the House with regard to statements he made about Mr Hemana Waaka and Māori Sportscasting International. I now seek leave for Mr Hide to offer his apologies, kanohi ki te kanohi, to Mr Hemana Waaka and his whānau.

No, the member cannot seek leave for anybody else.
