Summary of Bills Introduced

Appropriation (No. 8)
Authorises the issue and application of certain sums of public money for the year ending 30 June 1994, to authorise costs incurred, and to appropriate the supply granted for that year.

Immigration Amendment (No. 4)
Seeks to allow permits to be granted to travellers at overseas departure points rather than on their arrival in New Zealand. This proposed “pre-cleared permit” system will remove the need for persons to go through immigration procedures on arrival in New Zealand.

Maori Purposes (No. 2)
Provides for the cancellation of contracts entered into between the Crown and mana authorities, and that money disbursed by the Crown for the purposes of the Maori Enterprise Scheme to become the property of the mana authority. Also provided is the repeal, on 1 July 1994, of Kokiri centres.

1993

Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited having acquired 100% of the share capital in United Bank Limited on 8 May 1992 hereby gives notice that it intends to apply for leave to bring in the above-mentioned Private Bill during the present session of Parliament.

The objects of the Bill are to provide for:

1. The transfer to Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited of the undertaking of United Bank Limited; and
2. The dissolution of United Bank Limited; and
3. Other purposes incidental thereto and consequent thereon.

Legislation is the only means by which the above objects of the said Bill can be effected efficiently and economically and without interference with the conduct and continuity of the business of banking in the interests of the said banks, their staff, their customers, and other persons having business with them.

The Bill provides that on a day to be appointed by the Governor-General in Council (the vesting day), the undertaking of United Bank Limited will vest in Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited. A reference to United Bank Limited in any instrument made before the vesting day will by virtue of the Bill be read as a reference to Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited. Any guarantee given by any person to United Bank Limited, or in respect of United Bank Limited’s obligations will remain binding after the vesting day. All proceedings commenced by or against United Bank Limited before the vesting day will continue after that day in the name of Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited. Customers of and depositors with United Bank Limited will have the same relationship with Countrywide Banking Corporation Limited as they had with United Bank Limited. All contracts entered into by United Bank Limited before the vesting day shall to the extent that they were previously binding on United Bank Limited be binding on Countrywide.
