Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has asked officials to begin work on a process that could lead to Sir Ron Brierley being stripped of his knighthood.
Confirmation of the step came this afternoon and followed Brierley s guilty plea today to charges of possessing child sex abuse material.
It immediately brought fresh calls for Brierley to have his knighthood stripped, or for him to resign from holding it.
