Standing Orders β If we didnβt pass this motion, next Monday, within the parliamentary precincts, would still be regarded as a working day, as defined by Standing Order 3. So therefore, the Office of the Clerk and other agencies within the complex would have to have their people working to process things like written questions and to carry out other functions of a parliamentary working day. With the passage of this motion, they will be free on that day to mark the holiday and to mark the passing of the Queen as they think appropriate, as every other New Zealander will.
