After Question Time Mr Speaker declined an application for an urgent debate on the Government’s announcement on The Hobbit movie.

Leader of the House Gerry Brownlee then moved that the House should go into Urgency for two bills. One on employment laws issues relating to the film industry and the second on a ``legal’’ matter.

Mr Brownlee said the need for Urgency on the second item would be apparent once the bill was introduced.
