Debate on Crown Entities, Public Organisations, and State Enterprises β Meridian Energy Ltd
I raise a point of order, Mr Chairperson. There seems to have been a slight mistake on my behalf. Our understanding is that the honourable member Mr Hutchison was to debate Industrial Research Ltd now. Can we seek an opportunity to debate that topic now, within the debate?
The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): Industrial Research Ltd is available for debate, although not now. It is available; it is on the Order Paper. If you want to debate it, you can.
May we seek a call for that?
The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): I have already put the question on Meridian Energy Ltd, so we had better put it to the vote while the Clerk checks the situation.
Report noted.
The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): The member should have indicated beforehand that he wanted to speak to Industrial Research Ltd. However, he is perfectly free to seek leave of the Committee to have a 5-minute speech on it.
I seek leave to debate the review of the Crown research institute Industrial Research Ltd.
The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): Leave is sought. Is there any objection to that course of action? There is none.
Industrial Research Ltd
