Urgent Debates Declined — Te Wānanga o Aotearoa—Appointment of Crown Observer
← Personal Explanations — Question No. 4 to Minister, 17 February
Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (Approvals and Enforcement) Amendment Bill →
Time unknown
I have received a letter from the Hon Ken Shirley seeking to debate under Standing Order 373 the appointment of a Crown observer to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. This is a particular case of recent occurrence, involving ministerial responsibility, but I do not consider that the addition of a Crown observer to the council requires the immediate attention of the House today. There will be other parliamentary opportunities to explore that. The application is declined.
