SPEAKER: I've received a letter from the Hon Judith Collins seeking to debate under Standing Order 399 the Government's decision to deploy a C-130 and accompanying personnel to support international efforts to evacuate foreign nationals from Afghanistan and an in principle decision to provide residence to Afghan allies. I have also received a letter from David Seymour seeking to debate the decision of Cabinet to raise the COVID-19 alert levels to level 4 across the country on Tuesday, 17 August in response to community transmission of the Delta variant of COVID-19. Both are particular cases of recent occurrence for which there is ministerial responsibility. Each matter is significant. However, members have had the opportunity to question Ministers on them following ministerial statements. The applications are therefore declined. In accordance with a determination of the Business Committee, the House stands adjourned until 2 p.m. tomorrow.
