Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 2)

I move, That the Subordinate Legislation (Confirmation and Validation) Bill (No 2) be now read a third time.

I do not want to forgo the opportunity to speak on the third reading of this wonderfully exciting bill! I am not going to repeat what I said in my speech on the second reading, except to say that although it is a formal and technical bill, it nonetheless is a very important bill. It is important to look at the policy behind the regulations. It is also a bill that has to be passed before the end of the year, to avoid the orders and various regulations mentioned in the bill actually lapsing. National supports the third reading.

Bill read a third time.
