← Tuesday, 20 November 2007 Questions for Oral Answer β€” Questions to Ministers β†’
πŸ—£οΈ Speech Sir Rt Hon Trevor Mallard (New Zealand Labour Party β€” Member for Hutt South)
Time unknown

Pursuant to Standing Order 350 I wish to make a personal explanation in order to correct an answer I gave to the House last week.

πŸ’¬ Madam SPEAKER: Would members please be quiet. We have a point of order. Members need to hear what the point of order is.

Last Thursday when answering question No. 7 I said in an answer to a supplementary question: β€œThere is a requirement within the ministry’s operating policy to obtain at least three quotes. I am advised that that was done in this case.” That answer is technically correct. I was advised that it had been done. I am now advised that it was not done. Since that time both the chief executive of the Ministry for the Environment and I have asked the State Services Commissioner to look at the matter. A report will be available later in the day.
