Business Statement

Today, the House will adjourn until Tuesday, 13 February. In that week, the Government will move urgency to progress multiple stages of the Water Services Acts Repeal Bill. Other legislation to be considered will include further stages of the Social Workers Registration Legislation Amendment Bill and the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income (Controlling Interests) Amendment Bill. Wednesday is scheduled to be a members’ day—the first of the new Parliament—and there will be six maiden statements during the week.

Could the Leader of the House let us know whether he’ll be introducing or progressing any legislation of the new Government that does anything other than repeal or disestablish anything?

Yes.
