Pressure is mounting on the Government to fully scrap a provision entrenching parts of its Three Waters legislation.
Constitutional experts say the provision, requiring 60-percent of MPs to change part of the law, would pave the way for governments to entrench other laws.
Cabinet has agreed to refer the matter back to Parliament's cross-party Business Committee.
But National's Michael Woodhouse told Mike Hosking that doesn't actually fix the situation.
“It can’t be fixed by the Business Committee, Labour have to agree to a motion to have that Bill sent back to that part of the Bill process, take those clauses out.”
The Government was advised a year ago not to entrench the policy.
