Illustration for Parliament Act 2025

The Parliamentary Service Commission has several members. You know who they are: the Speaker, a member from each party in the House of Representatives, and an extra member from parties with 30 or more members. When a Parliament ends, the Commission members keep their jobs until the next general election. They act as Commission members because they are part of the House of Representatives. The chief executive must put the Commission members' names on a website for everyone to see. You can find more information about this on the https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM55896 and https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM55899.
