Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
Extended Hours On Wednesday Morning
Following the completion of an urgent debate on the resignation of Peter Dunne as a minister, Leader of the House Gerry Brownlee moved the House sit tomorrow morning to consider a number of bills.
MPs agreed by 64 to 56 with National, Maori Party, ACT and United Future in favour.
The bills to be covered are the first readings of the Taxation (Annual Rates, Foreign Superannuation, and Remedial Matters) Bill and the Construction Contracts Amendment Bill, and the committee stage of the Local Electoral Amendment Bill (No 2).
MPs then returned to the interrupted debate on the performance and current operations of Crown entities, public organisations and State Enterprises.
