Business Statement

Next week the House begins a 2-week adjournment when members of the House will be able to spend more time in their electorates and on select committee business. When the House resumes on Tuesday, 13 October, the Government will progress a number of first readings on the Order Paper, including the Environment Canterbury (Transitional Governance Arrangements) Bill, the Taxation (Transformation: First Phase Simplification and Other Measures) Bill, and the Health (Home Carers) Bill. Wednesday of that week will be a members’ day.

Can I ask the Leader of the House whether he has any plans to ask for a delay in the return of the brightline test bill to the House, which got a truncated report-back date?

That would be a matter for the Minister responsible for the bill to take up with the Business Committee.
