✨ Governor-General's Speech to Parliament

THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

[No. 62

My Minister of Agriculture is giving full consideration to measures necessary
for the improvement of the farming industry and the protection of stock.

During the recess my Minister of Justice and Attorney-General has
considered the matter of law reform, with a view to correcting anomalies in
the law and ensuring that it should be adequate to meet the needs of justice
in the light of modern conditions. With this objective a representative Law
Revision Committee has been constituted.

My Advisers propose to lay before you amendments to the Industrial
Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1925, providing for an extension of the
definition of "industry." You will also be asked to extend, for a further
period, the operation of the Fair Rents Act, 1936.

A Bill will be introduced for your consideration setting up a Standards
Institute, on the lines adopted in Great Britain and other countries, with the
object of co-operating with industry and commerce in the establishment of
commodity standards where this would be helpful.

Bills will also be submitted for your consideration amending the Coal-mines
Act, 1925, the Mining Act, 1926, the Stone-quarries Act, 1910, the Municipal
Corporations Act, 1933, as well as measures concerning the duration of Parliament,
an alteration in the day of the celebration of His Majesty's birthday, the
centennial of New Zealand in 1940, an adjustment of the law relating to
damage by motor-vehicles, and for facilitating the search for petroleum in the
Dominion. A Bill providing for local government reform will also be
introduced.

I earnestly trust that your deliberations on these subjects may be guided
by Divine Providence for the welfare and prosperity of the people of this
Dominion.

By Authority: E. V. PAUL, Government Printer, Wellington.
