Doug Kidd

Sir Douglas Lorimer Kidd KNZM (born 12 September 1941) is a former New Zealand politician.In the government of Jim Bolger, Kidd held a number of minor ministerial portfolios, including Fisheries, Energy and Labour.The bill was prompted by Wall v Livingston [1982], which clarified that embryos and foetuses had no legal status in New Zealand and that third parties could not appeal to the courts on their behalf.The bill was supported by groups such as Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child (now Voice for Life and Right to Life New Zealand) but defeated by pro-choice groups led by Marilyn Waring.[5] He replaced Peter Tapsell, a Labour Party MP who had held the speakership because National, which had won the election by a single seat, did not want to lose a vote by appointing a Speaker from its own ranks.
