Points of Order — Correspondence with Speaker—Conduct of Member

Point of order. Mr Speaker, reluctantly I raise the issue of having written to you 11 days ago about the behaviour of a member of Parliament for the Labour Party. We understand that that was referred to that member, who has yet not replied to you. We’d like to be brought up to date as to what’s going on.

Yes, I have had discussions with that member and there will be a reply and I will rule on that very serious allegation.

💬 Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: When?

By the end of the week.

💬 Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: That’s a long time.

Yeah, well, it’s a long time for some, but for others it’s a reasonable time to contemplate a serious matter.
