Ngāti Hei Claims Settlement Bill
Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.
This bill gives effect to some elements of the Ngāti Hei deed of settlement, which was signed on 17 August 2017 by Ngāti Hei and the Crown. This bill records the acknowledgements and apology made by the Crown to iwi when the deed was signed and gives effect to redress in the deed.MP in charge
