Summary: Parliament’s Diary (Press, 9 November 1968)
On 9 November 1968, the New Zealand Parliament reconvened, introducing the Maori Purposes Bill, which underwent a pro forma second reading before being referred to the Maori Affairs Committee. During the session, the annual report from the Waterfront Industry Commission was presented, and ministers responded to a total of 20 questions posed by members. Additionally, the Petitions Committee submitted a report regarding a petition from the New Zealand Homosexual Law Reform Society, which requested an amendment to the Crimes Act. However, the committee did not make any specific recommendations on this matter. The House witnessed the reading and passing of eight bills at their third reading stage. Furthermore, reports concerning three other bills were also approved. The proceedings continued as the House engaged in a committee discussion on the Broadcasting Authority Bill, which was ongoing when Parliament adjourned at 4 p.m. for the day, with plans to reconvene at 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday.
