Local Government (Auckland Reorganisation) Bill
We have just had a little bit of confusion, and the whips of ACT and the MΔori Party had to correct their votes. I think it would help if you named the person putting the amendment.
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): My apologies. We have three amendments in the name of Sue Moroney, and I will mention her name each time I put the question.
The question was put that the following amendment in the name of Sue Moroney to the amendment to add new Part 9 in the name of Charles Chauvel be agreed to:
to insert after βTransition Agencyβ, βof only 4 peopleβ.
I move that progress be reported, and that there be an instruction to the House that this bill be referred to the special select committee for Auckland legislation for it to have hearings on it, and to report back to the House within 4 weeks.
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): A member can only move that progress be reported; an instruction cannot go with it. If the member wishes to move that progress be reported, I will accept that proposition, but he cannot include with it an instruction about what will happen after that.
I seek the leave of the Committee to move a motion to report progress that includes an instruction that select committee consideration take place, and that the select committee report back to the House within 4 weeks of it receiving the bill.
The CHAIRPERSON (Lindsay Tisch): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is objection.
