Summary: The Day In Parliament (Press, 14 November 1985)
On 13 November 1985, the New Zealand Parliament convened at 2 p.m. for its regular session. During this meeting, Ministers responded to five questions of the day, along with ten questions that had been submitted on notice. Following the question period, members engaged in a two-hour general debate. The House then entered a committee stage to discuss the Nelson College Empowering Bill, which was reported back without any amendments. After completing the committee stage, the bill proceeded to its third reading and was passed. Next, the committal stages for the Hamilton City Council (Rates Relief Validation) Bill were scheduled but were postponed for three weeks. The House subsequently entered another committee stage to consider the Christchurch District Drainage Amendment Bill. The debate on this bill was briefly interrupted for dinner at 5.30 p.m. but resumed at 7.30 p.m., and the bill successfully passed through its committal stages. Following this, members returned to an earlier interrupted debate regarding the Homosexual Law Reform Bill. The second reading of this bill concluded with a vote of 47 in favour and 32 against before the House adjourned for the day.
