Urgent Debates Declined — Algerian Refugee—Ahmed Zaoui

I have received a letter from Keith Locke seeking to debate under Standing Order 376 the transfer of Ahmed Zaoui to Auckland Central Remand Prison. This is a particular case of recent occurrence involving the administrative responsibility of the Government, but I do not believe that the transfer of a prisoner requires the immediate attention of the House by way of an urgent debate. The application is declined.
