There's another person I want to pay tribute to today: Sir John Hall's granddaughter, my great-grandmother and National's first female MP, Mary Grigg. Mary was elected to the mid-Canterbury seat held by her husband, my great-grandfather Arthur, who was killed in action in Libya in 1941. As a total aside and nothing more than evidence of what a small world we live in, our very own Sir Jim McLay's father was in the field hospital with Arthur when he died. Thank you to Sir Jim for passing your father's memories onto our family.
