🗣️ Speech David Carter (New Zealand National Party — List Member)
Time unknown

Honourable members, I regret to inform the House of the death on 28 January 2016 of the Rt Hon Robert James Tizard CNZM, who represented the electorates of Tāmaki, Ōtāhuhu, Pakuranga, and Panmure between 1957 and 1990. Mr Tizard was Deputy Prime Minister between 1974 and 1975. During his membership of this House, he held a number of ministerial positions, including Minister of Finance, Minister of Health, and Minister of Defence. 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.
