I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. I want to raise a point of order under Standing Order 35(1)(b). That Standing Order relates to the necessity of parties informing you about their leadership and whips. The National Party website at 11.55 a.m. recorded a press statement from “National Party Leader, Bill English.” I would like to know, Madam Speaker, whether you were informed of a change in the National Party leadership—or was he, perhaps, gone by lunch time?
💬 Madam SPEAKER: There has been no such notification.
