Parliament speaker blocking answers on February protest - National

From Morning Report, 8:24 am on 31 May 2022

The National Party says numerous attempts to get answers about the handling of February's parliament protest have been blocked.

Correspondence seen by RNZ shows Parliament Speaker Trevor Mallard refusing to answer several written questions from the opposition.

On numerous occasions, Mallard says a comment would prejudice the ongoing inquiry by the Independent Policy Conduct Authority.

National MP Paul Goldsmith spoke to Corin Dann.
