Time unknown
I’ve received a letter from Teanau Tuiono seeking to debate, under Standing Order 399, the opening of an FBI office in New Zealand. This is a particular case of recent occurrence for which there is ministerial responsibility. However, this is an ongoing matter. There are select committee opportunities and, consequently, House opportunities to scrutinise this matter. I also note, following question time today, there will be a general debate. The application is declined.
