A bomb scare which saw some parts of Parliament evacuated today turned out to be an invention someone wanted to show the Government.
After x-raying the parcel it was found to be a model of a hydrogen energy converter.
The x-ray showed wires and coils which led staff to treat it with caution.
Wellington police emergency response manager acting inspector Scott Miller says police located the member of public who delivered the box.
It was his intention to show members of Parliament his model which is believed to convert water to energy sources.
Evacuated staff have now returned to Parliament.
