Faced with a similar question, Speaker Statham of the New Zealand House of Representatives ruled in 1921 that: “The House has no cognisance of anything taking place before a committee unless it is reported by the committee through its chairperson, or the matter relates to a question of privilege.” Later in 1979, Speaker Harrison of the same House, upholding the ruling of his predecessor, observed: “The Speaker has no jurisdiction or authority, whatsoever to get involved in proceedings of a select committee unless approached by the chairperson following a resolution of the committee calling on the Speaker to adjudicate on any matter, or if the matter is one of the privilege of the House or personal privilege of a Member of that Committee.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
