Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Leader of the House): Next week, the committee stage of the Appropriation (2020/21 Confirmation and Validation) Bill, or the annual review debate, will begin. Ministers covering 14 different portfolios will participate that week. Other legislation to be considered will be the remaining stages of the COVID-19 Response (Courts Safety) Legislation Bill, and the third reading of the Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Bill. On Wednesday, a two-hour debate on the report of the Finance and Expenditure Committee on the long-term fiscal position will replace the general debate, and, on Thursday, the House will consider another motion to approve COVID-19 orders.
