Leader of the House Chris Bishop says he doesn't want distractions during Budget week

Parliament's adjourned debate this afternoon on the Privileges Committee's suspension recommendations for Te Pati Maori MPs who did a haka during the Treaty Principles Bill's vote.

The proposal was to suspend co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa Packer for 21 days, and Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke for seven.

Chris Bishop says it will still be dealt with, on June 5.

He says things might be different if Te Pati Maori apologised or turned up to the Committee at all.
