Business Statement

Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (Leader of the House) : Next week the House goes into a 1-week adjournment. When the House resumes on Tuesday, 22 May the Government will look to progress a number of bills on the Order Paper, including the Committee stage of the Biosecurity Law Reform Bill, the Crown Entities Reform Bill, and the Commerce Commission (International Co-operation, and Fees) Bill. Thursday, 24 May is Budget day.

Hon TREVOR MALLARD (Labour—Hutt South) : Just to help members planning for Budget day, other than the revenue matter that has been flagged by the other Associate Minister of Health, to do with tobacco, is there any other legislation that the Government is planning to take through? I am not asking for names, but should members be planning for other legislation to be taken through all stages following the Budget on Thursday fortnight?

Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (Leader of the House) : Budgets always contain a significant amount of legislation in them. Should there be a need for the House to go into longer hours, it would be notified on Tuesday, 22 May.
