Points of Order — Prayers—Extended Sitting
← TUESDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2015 — (continued on Wednesday, 9 September 2015)
Te Kawerau ā Maki Claims Settlement Bill →
Time unknown
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I know that this is an extension of time, but this is the first moment of our sitting this day, and I just seek your guidance as to what has happened to the opening prayer.
Time unknown
I thank the member for his intervention. This is an extended sitting from last night. Last night when I lifted the House at 10 o’clock, I said that the House was suspended at 10 o’clock last night to be resumed at 9 o’clock this morning. This runs through until 1 o’clock this afternoon, and then the House starts again with question time at 2 o’clock. That is the start of the new day. All that has happened since last night is a suspension of the House so that we can have extended hours now. That is what we are doing.
