Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: Ultimately, the pace at which the committee of the House proceeds is the sole determination of the Chair. The Chair had not moved on to any further business, therefore the vote had not been concluded. In fact, only about a moment later there was an instance where the National Party did not call for a party vote immediately and the Chair sat there for a good 15 seconds looking at the whip from the National Party in silence to see whether they were going to call for a vote. The pace at which the Chair determines a vote has been concluded is a sole matter for the Chair.
