Hon DAVID PARKER (Associate Minister of Finance): I move, That the Overseas Investment (Urgent Measures) Amendment Bill be now read a first time. I nominate the Finance and Expenditure Committee to consider the bill. At the appropriate time, I intend to move that the bill be reported to the House by 25 May 2020 and that the committee have the authority to meet at any time while the House is sitting (except during oral questions), during every evening on a day where there is a sitting day of the House, and on a Friday in a week in which there has been a sitting in the House and outside the Wellington area, despite Standing Orders 191, 193, and 194(1)(b) and (c).
