Business Statement
Today the House adjourns until Tuesday, 13 February, when the Child Poverty Reduction Bill will have its first reading. Other bills to be considered in that week will include the Dairy Industry Restructuring Amendment Bill (No 2) and the Customs and Excise Bill. Additional bills will be introduced and will receive their first readings.
I just inquire from the Leader of the House, at what point is it likely we’ll run out of Government work and we’ll be able to get on with more members’ bills?
Just before Christmas, the member who just spoke was criticising the Government for not following proper Cabinet and Cabinet committee processes. I can assure him that there are a number of bills completing the Cabinet and Cabinet committee process, as he will see over the coming weeks.
