WELLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, 25 JUNE 1952

THE Second Session of the Thirtieth Parliament of New Zealand was this day opened by the Governor-General, when His Excellency was pleased to make the following statement of the causes of the calling of this session of Parliament together:—

HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

The people of New Zealand, in common with their fellow-citizens of the British Commonwealth, profoundly mourn the loss of their late beloved Sovereign, King George VI. His late Majesty earned the undying gratitude and whole-hearted affection of all his subjects by sharing with his people their dangers and their hardships; by his fortitude throughout times of adversity; and by his inspiring example of leadership and his selfless public service at all times. His name and reign will ever be held in lasting and grateful remembrance and nowhere more so than here in New Zealand.

Queen Elizabeth II, who has assumed the high and responsible office as our Sovereign, commands the deep and loyal devotion of her peoples in New Zealand and the Island Territories. It is our earnest hope that, after Her Majesty’s Coronation, the Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh will be able to pay their long-desired visit to these shores.

The approach of Her Majesty’s Coronation necessitates alterations in the Royal Style and Title to meet constitutional developments in the Commonwealth. Discussions are now taking place between the Governments of the various countries of the Commonwealth, and my Ministers anticipate that they will be in a position to submit for parliamentary approval this session any agreed amendments to the present Royal Style and Title.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
