Summary: The Day In Parliament (Press, 20 March 1986)
On 19 March 1986, Parliament convened at 2 p.m., where Ministers addressed 14 questions before a general debate concluded at 5 p.m. During the session, Mr A. P. D. Friedlander, the National MP for New Plymouth, proposed that the New Zealand Geographic Board (Mount Egmont) Amendment Bill be given priority over the Homosexual Law Reform Bill in the order of private members’ bills. This motion sparked a debate that continued until the House broke for dinner at 5.30 p.m. Following the dinner break, which ended at 7.30 p.m., the discussion on the Homosexual Law Reform Bill resumed, and the motion concerning the order of bills was revisited. Ultimately, the proposal to change the order of bills was defeated by a vote of 43 to 29. The session was then interrupted when the House adjourned at 10.57 p.m.
