Parliament To Be Suspended To Mark Pike River Tragedy

Parliament To Be Suspended To Mark Pike River Tragedy

Parliament is to suspend business today as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the Pike River coal mine tragedy.

The only item on the order paper is a Government notice of motion on the explosions to allow MPs to pay their respects.

Earlier in the week Parliament noted its concern following the initial explosion. The speeches then are recorded here.
