Vote: Bills β Standards and Accreditation Bill
β Third Reading
π³οΈ That the Standards and Accreditation Bill be now read a third time.
JONO NAYLOR (National): That is 10 minutes we will never get back, is it not? But anyway, I commend this bill to the House. 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 narrow margin
(61 Ayes β 58 Noes β 1 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.
