WELLINGTON: TUESDAY, 12 FEBRUARY 1963
THE Third Session of the Thirty-third Parliament of New Zealand was
this day opened by Her Majesty the Queen, when Her Majesty 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
It is moving and memorable for me to be present once more
among the elected representatives of the people of New Zealand
and to exercise my prerogative of opening the Third Session
of this Thirty-third Parliament.
I have been deeply touched by the warmth of the welcome
extended by my people in New Zealand, both European and
Maori, and by the expressions of loyalty and affection I have
received. From them I shall draw strength for my task as your
Queen and as Head of the Commonwealth's great association
of independent nations.
I have been impressed by the many signs of progress and
development since my visit to New Zealand nine years ago.
The population has grown by well over 400,000 in those years
and has put to the test the country's capacity to provide the
capital development needed to sustain this growth. It is a
matter for satisfaction that this challenge has been met so
successfully. There are new houses, new schools, new roads
and aerodromes, newly won farm lands, and new industry β all
signs of a vigorous response to the needs of a growing and
prospering community.
I have also been impressed by recent advances in the efficient
use of the country's natural resources. The widespread application
in the primary industries of new scientific techniques has
greatly increased the yield and potential of New Zealand's
farm lands.
