When does the committee expect to be able to report to the House on the petition of Hariata Baker requesting that the House ensure the will of Pukepuke Tangiora be revived in its original form, as it was before the implementation of the recommendations contained in the Native Affairs Committee report on Petition 52/1942?

As the member is fully aware, the committee is yet to decide on this matter.
Has this petition raised broader issues relating to the administration of Māori property trusts, and has the committee considered a wider inquiry into Māori property trusts and the role of the Crown in appointing trustees instead of the beneficiaries of the trust appointing trustees; if not, why not?
