Voting β Correction
π£οΈ Speech
Mr SPEAKER
Time unknown
Last night leave was given for the New Zealand First Party to alter its vote on the question that the order of the day for the consideration in Committee of the Smoke-free Environments Amendment Bill be discharged, and the bill be referred to the Health Committee. The New Zealand First vote was initially recorded as a split party vote, and Dail Jones sought to have the vote cast as a single party vote for the Ayes. This was not clear at the time, and the corrected result was not correctly announced. The corrected result is Ayes 56, Noes 61, and the motion is not agreed to.
