Wellington's Beehive was the venue for this week’s unveiling
of the fourth edition of the definitive guide to the practice and procedure of
the New Zealand House of Representatives.
Politicians and parliamentary experts, both present and
past, were in attendance for the launch of Parliamentary Practice in New
Zealand — published by Oratia books, authored by former Clerk of the House
of Representatives David McGee, and fully revised by Mary Harris (who was the
Clerk until 2015) and David Wilson (the present office holder).
Speaking to the assembled guests, David Wilson praised the
large team from the Office of the House of Representatives that had helped to
bring this large book to completion, notably assistant editors Pavan Sharma and
David Bagnall.
He noted that 12 years had passed since the previous
edition, necessitating numerous revisions to content and structure of the book,
including measures to make the work more accessible to readers.
Parliamentary Practice in New Zealand is available
for the first time as an ebook, as well as an 896-page printed edition.
