Sittings of the House
I seek leave for the House to rise for the evening after the vote on the Healthy Homes Guarantee Bill (No 2).
I just want to ask a question about whether that leave would extend the House if the House is still going at 10 oβclock.
π¬ Chris Hipkins: No.
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Trevor Mallard): The answer is that it would, and do members understand that? The question is that leave be agreed to for the House rising after the vote on this next bill. Is there any objection? There is objection. [Interruption] Unfortunately, the strict rules of the House are that once leave has been put and rejected it cannot be put again. I am going to say that I was a little deaf and I did not hear the member coughing. All right? There is no objection. The House will rise at the conclusion of the bill.
