Time unknown

I regret to inform the House of the death on 25 July 2009 of the Hon Herbert Elmer Lorraine Pickering QSO, who represented the electorate of Hurunui from 1961 to 1963, and Rangiora from 1963 to 1972. He was Associate Minister of Finance in 1970 and 1971, and Minister of Education in 1972. I desire, on behalf of this House, to express our sense of the loss we have sustained and our sympathy with the relatives of the late former member. I now ask members to stand with me and observe a period of silence as a mark of respect for his memory.

Honourable members stood as a mark of respect.
