Business Statement
When the House resumes next week the first order of the day on Tuesday will be the first reading of the Affiliate Te Arawa Iwi and Hapu Claims Settlement Bill, followed by the second reading of the Appropriation (2007/08 Supplementary Estimates) Bill. This is a 3-hour debate and will include debate on an Imprest Supply Bill. On Wednesday priority will be given to the first readings of the Central North Island Forests Land Collective Settlement Bill and the Lawyers and Conveyancers Amendment Bill (No 2). We will also seek to progress the remaining stages of the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Amendment Bill (No 2).
Could the Leader of the House give some indication of when item No. 20 on the Order Paper might be further advancedβthat is, the Climate Change (Emissions Trading and Renewable Preference) Bill.
Discussions continue on that bill. I am sure the member will be kept up to date, both by the Government and by media comment.
