Vote: Bills β Companies Amendment Bill
β Third Readings
π³οΈ That the Companies Amendment Bill and the Insolvency Amendment Bill be now read a third time
Moved by
Mark Peck
(New Zealand Labour Party β Member for Invercargill)
The ASSISTANT SPEAKER (H V Ross Robertson): We actually have two bills here. Shall I put them as one question? There is no objection to that course of action being taken? There appears to be none. Read more β
Third Reading β this is the last vote a bill needs to
pass before it's sent off to become law. Earlier votes (first reading, second reading, and
any votes on amendments along the way) decide what the bill looks like and whether it
keeps moving forward, but this is the one that actually decides whether it happens at all.
β Passed by a clear majority
(74 Ayes β 44 Noes β 2 Absent)
Hansard didn't name individual MPs for this vote, only how each party voted overall, so
there's no per-member breakdown to show here.
