National MP Chris Bishop will seek a vote of no confidence against Trevor Mallard, the Speaker of the House, in Parliament today.
Late last year Mallard apologised for comments he made to RNZ in May, when he claimed a rapist had been working at Parliament, and a staffer had been stood down.
Mallard later backed down from his use of the word 'rape', and $300,000 of taxpayer funds have since been spent on the subsequent legal dispute over his words.
Bishop spoke to Susie Ferguson.
Trevor Mallard was invited to comment, and to come on the show this morning, but declined.
