ELIZABETH THE SECOND, by the Grace of God of the United

Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith:

To Our Trusty and Well-beloved the Honourable SIR THADDEUS

Wellington, Retired Secretary of Labour, and RALPH HERBERT

GREETING:

KNOW YE that We, reposing trust and confidence in your
integrity, knowledge, and ability, do hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint you, the said

THE HONOURABLE SIR THADDEUS PEARCEY MCCARTHY;
SIR CLIFFORD ULRIC PLIMMER, K.B.E.;
JOHN TURNBULL, O.B.E.;
HARRY PARSONAGE, I.S.O.; and
RALPH HERBERT BROOKES

to be a Commission to receive representations upon, inquire
into, investigate, and report upon the salary and wage fixing
procedures used in the State Services of New Zealand (which
expression shall, where used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, have the particular meaning given to it in this
Commission), having regard to the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the State Services in New Zealand
submitted on the 28th day of June 1962 and the enactments
relating to the State Services of New Zealand or any part
thereof; and, in particular, to receive representations upon,
inquire into, investigate, and report upon the following matters:

1. The criteria which should be used in determining the
   salaries and wages, and the terms and conditions of employment, of employees in the State Services of New Zealand and
   the relative weight that should be given to each of the criteria
   if more than one is considered appropriate.

2. The existing salary and wage fixing procedures used in the
   State Services of New Zealand and the need to provide or
   retain or change the following aids:

(a) The Advisory Committee on Higher Salaries in the State
Services and similar committees such as the University
Salaries Committee and the Hospital Medical Officers
Advisory Committee:

(b) Fact finding machinery in the form of a pay research
unit to provide information on the salaries and wages,
and the terms and conditions, in any areas of employment outside the State Services comparable with
occupational classes and groups of employees within
the State Services:

(c) The ruling rates survey or a suitable alternative for the
measurement of changes in salary and wages rates in
employment outside the State Services as a basis for
general adjustments to salaries and wages within the
State Services and the method of applying those
adjustments.

3. The constitution, functions, and powers of the various
   Tribunals having jurisdiction in matters relating to the salaries
   and wages, and the terms and conditions of employment, in
   the State Services of New Zealand, and the extent to which
   co-ordination, amalgamation, or uniformity of structure and
   powers of the various Tribunals is desirable, and if so the
   methods by which this could be achieved.

4. Any amendments that should be made in existing enactments or administrative procedures to promote improvements
   in the matters aforesaid.

5. Any associated matters that may be thought by you to be
   relevant to the general objects of the inquiry.

And, further, We desire you to receive representations upon,
inquire into, investigate, and report upon the necessity or
desirability of co-ordinating the methods of determining the
salaries and wages, and the terms and conditions of employment, in the State Services as defined herein on the one part,
and other corporations, agencies, and authorities whose funds
are derived principally from money appropriated by Parliament
or who have a governing body a majority of whose members
are persons who are either Ministers of the Crown, employees
in the Government service, or persons appointed by the
Governor-General or a Minister of the Crown on the other
part, together with any changes that are desirable or practicable
in the existing procedures and methods of co-ordination.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “State
Services” where used herein means all instruments of the
Crown in respect of the Government of New Zealand; and
includes the Judiciary, Stipendiary Magistrates, chairmen and
members (full-time) of boards and commissions who are paid
out of money appropriated by Parliament, the Education
Service, the University Service in New Zealand, the Hospital
Board Service, the Education Board Service, and employees of
the Crown to whom Part III of the State Services Act 1962
does not apply by reason of subsection (1) or subsection (2)
of section 22 of that Act; but does not include the Governor-General, members of the Executive Council, Ministers of the
Crown, or members of Parliament.

And We hereby appoint you the said

The Honourable SIR THADDEUS PEARCEY MCCARTHY
to be the Chairman of the said Commission:

And for the better enabling you to carry these presents into
effect you are hereby authorised and empowered to make
and conduct any inquiry or investigation under these presents
in such manner and at such time and place as you think
expedient, with power to adjourn from time to time and place
to place as you think fit, and so that these presents shall
continue in force and any such inquiry may at any time and
place be resumed although not regularly adjourned from time
to time or from place to place:

And you are hereby strictly charged and directed that you
shall not at any time publish or otherwise disclose, save to
His Excellency the Governor-General, in pursuance of these
presents or by His Excellency’s direction, the contents of any
report so made or to be made by you, or any evidence or
information obtained by you in the exercise of the powers
hereby conferred on you, except such evidence or information
as is received in the course of a sitting open to the public:

And it is hereby declared that the powers hereby conferred
shall be exercisable notwithstanding the absence at any time
of any one or any two of the members hereby appointed so
long as the Chairman or a member deputed by the Chairman
to act in his stead, and two other members are present and
concur in the exercise of the powers:
