Volume:695;Page:15283. Text is incorporated into the Bound Volume.]The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): The question is that the question be now put. As many—Andrew Williams: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I have Supplementary Order Paper 406 on the Table here and I have had not had an opportunity to speak to it as yet. I think it is important that I have an opportunity to speak to it.The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): Well I can only say to the member that we have had about 17 calls and everyone has been given a fair go. The situation is now that the question has been put. All business is deferred until the question is determined.Hone Harawira: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. The gentleman was on his feet and calling for a point of order before you made your ruling. He called on numerous occasions—The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): No no. The member will be seated. Not true. I want to refer the member to Speaker’s ruling 10/4. Whenever a question is being put—and that was being done to the Committee—the interpretation of business is deferred until the question is determined. Now I will put the vote. The question is all those in favour please say Aye—Hone Harawira: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. Is it not parliamentary procedure that a Supplementary Order Paper on a bill should be heard? That Supplementary Order Paper was tabled in accordance with parliamentary procedure. Mr Andrew Williams is here and as the author of that Supplementary Order Paper he was willing to stand up and speak to it as part of the debate on this piece of legislation. He may not have been successful with that Supplementary Order Paper but surely he had the right to have that Supplementary Order Paper properly heard. I again make the point apart from that that he was actually on his feet and calling for a point of order to have that Supplementary Order Paper heard before you ruled that the Committee would vote on this piece of legislation. So I think that for those reasons the Supplementary Order Paper should in all fairness be heard.The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): All I can say is that a point of order cannot be raised until I have actually taken the closure motion because no member would know whether I was going to accept it or not. I have already put the question. All those in favour please say Aye to the contrary No. The Ayes have it.Andrew Williams: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. I actually was standing to take the call and I got to my feet before the honourable Tim Macindoe. I was actually on my feet. Your view might have been obscured by the honourable Hone Harawira in front of me but I had stood to speak to my Supplementary Order Paper and I was advised earlier—and we checked with the Clerk—that I would have an opportunity to speak to my Supplementary Order Paper. I am—The CHAIRPERSON (H V Ross Robertson): The member is just relitigating the issue. I have made a ruling and it stands.Barbara Stewart: I raise a point of order Mr Chairperson. New Zealand First called for a party vote. Obviously you cannot hear us down there.
