✨ Government Policy Announcements
JUNE 25] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 771
It is proposed to introduce a Bill consolidating the present
legislation relating to tuberculosis, and to make additional
provision for the effective control of the disease.
The merging of the Mental Hospitals and Health Departments will also be the subject of legislation.
In the field of education my Government’s activities will be
devoted to consolidating advances made in recent years and to
providing additional teachers, buildings, equipment, and special
services necessary for carrying out the Government’s policy of
giving full and free education to every child. Two consultative
committees have reported in recent months—the Committee on
Pre-School Educational Services, and the Committee on Adult
Education.
Last year a Royal Commission on Licensing completed its
task, and presented a most comprehensive report in which the
social and economic aspects of the licensing laws are closely and
critically examined. It recommended many reforms in the law
relating to the manufacture, importation, and distribution of
intoxicating liquors. Parliament will be given an opportunity
to examine and discuss the report and its proposals.
With the termination of wartime activities my Advisers have
deemed it necessary to review all war regulations, and appropriate measures for dealing with them will be placed before
Parliament.
It is also proposed to lay before you legislation to consolidate
the laws relating respectively to the sale of food and drugs, and
to Magistrates’ Courts. Legislation will also be formulated to
provide for social security reciprocity with Australia and for
better protection against forest and rural fires.
I commend all these matters to your careful consideration,
and I pray for Divine guidance in your deliberations.
Price 6d.] By Authority: E. V. PAUL, Government Printer, Wellington.
