Committee to investigate Ellis case
Peter Ellis petition prompts parliamentary committee
to investigate if inquiry is needed into Christchurch Civic Creche case
A parliamentary committee is to investigate whether a Royal Commission of
Inquiry is needed into the Christchurch Civic Creche case.
The decision follows a petition to the Justice and Electoral Committee from
pro-Peter Ellis campaigners Lynley Hood and National MP Don Brash.
Committee Chairman Tim Barnett says it will not be inquiring into Peter
Ellis's guilt or innocence.
He says the Committee will look at whether the need for a further inquiry has
already been adequately addressed by previous investigations.
Mr Barnett says if it has not then they might consider a Royal Commission is
justified.
