A war of words has erupted over the logistics of speaking slots during submission on the Treaty Principles Bill.

The pro-bill lobby group Hobson's Pledge claimed they were left off the list of those allowed to front up to the committee of MPs considering the bill in person.

Hobson's Pledge spokesman Elliot Iklei was quick to explain the group did request a speaking slot.

"So whatever you've been hearing from over there is utterly inaccurate. It is incorrect."
