Visitors — Māori King—Te Arikinui Tuheitia

Honourable members, I interrupt this debate in accordance with a determination of the Business Committee for the Rt Hon Helen Clark to shortly make her valedictory statement. But first I have much pleasure in informing members that Kīngi Tuheitia is within the precincts of this Chamber, and I am sure members would wish that he be welcomed and accorded a seat on the left of the Chair.

Kīngi Tuheitia entered the Chamber and took a seat on the left of the Chair.
