Business of the House

Following discussions across the House, I seek leave for there to be no debate on the second reading of the Immigration (COVID-19 Response) Amendment Bill, and for the House to adjourn for the evening at the conclusion of the third reading of this bill, including if that extends the House’s sitting slightly into the dinner break. This will allow for there to be a brief committee stage, so that amendments can be considered, and for there to be a full debate on the third reading for members who wish to make a contribution to do that, but then for the House to avoid potentially breaking at 6 o’clock and coming back for only a few minutes at 7.30.

ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Adrian Rurawhe): Leave is sought for that purpose. Is there any objection? There is none.
