RADIO NEW ZEALAND: Deputy Speaker of Parliament and National MP Clem Simich is to quit politics.
Mr Simich entered Parliament in 1992 after the resignation of Sir Robert Muldoon.
A minister in the last National government, he held the police, corrections and racing portfolios and was the minister in charge of the Audit Department.
Mr Simich says he has appreciated his opportunities in Parliament but believes it is the right time to move on.
He will continue as Deputy Speaker until this year's election.
