The Privileges Committee is to look at the treatment and
release of information from parliamentary security
systems.
Speaker David Carter told MPs he had received a
letter concerning a matter of privilege relating to John
Key’s answer to questions on the release of information
from parliamentary security systems.
The complaint was
not clearly laid out but did raise serious questions about
how members undertook their business and how this should be
protected, while balancing the need for security. There were
also issues about the treatment of journalists and the
protection of the ability for them to do their jobs.
