The final countdown

From The House , 6:55 pm on 15 August 2017

It may be the last week of Parliament before it dissolves for the election but the Leader of the House Simon Bridges says there's still business to finish off.

The dissolution of Parliament will take place on Tuesday 22 August but before that happens there are first readings of bills, farewell speeches from departing MPs, treaty settlements, and a debate on the adjournment of Parliament.

Listen to Simon Bridges explain what will happen below.
