Details on the flag referendum will go to Parliament this week.
Prime Minister John Key announced at his weekly press conference the Flag Referendum Bill will get its first reading on Tuesday.
From there it will be referred to a select committee, which will hear submissions on the change.
The first referendum, to be held later this year, will allow choice between a range of options: the second referendum, to be held next year, will be a choice between the winner of this year’s referendum and the current flag.
The cost of the process is estimated at $26 million.
