Business Statement

Priority will also be given to the Committee stage of the Appropriation (2003/04 Financial Review) Bill, which, as members will know, is a 4-hour debate. As previously indicated, on Thursday the third reading of the Ngāti Awa Claims Settlement Bill will be the first item of business on the Order Paper. And, of course, Wednesday is a members’ day.
