Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Attorney-General) on behalf of the Minister in charge of the NZ Security Intelligence Service: I move, That the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Amendment Bill be now read a first time. At the appropriate time I intend to move that the bill be considered by the Intelligence and Security Committee, and that the committee have the authority to meet at any time while the House is sitting except during oral questions, and during any evening on a day on which there has been a sitting of the House, and on a Friday in a week in which there has been a sitting of the House, despite Standing Orders 187 and 190(1)(b) and (c).
