Urgent Debates Declined — Hon Michael Wood—Resignation

I have also received letters from David Seymour and Christopher Luxon on the resignation of the Hon Michael Wood as a Minister. This is also a particular case of recent occurrence for which there is ministerial responsibility. As Speaker, I have to decide which is the most urgent of the two requests, and I have considered that the Oranga Tamariki matter meets those criteria. However, I am prepared to consider the Wood resignation applications again tomorrow if parties would like me to do so.
