from the report of the 1982 Committee of Inquiry, are presently
being considered and those to be adopted by the Government will
be incorporated in the Bill.

Legislation to implement certain of the recommendations made by
the Commission of Inquiry into the Abbotsford Landslip Disaster
will be promoted.

The Government intends to introduce a Town and Country
Planning Amendment Bill. This will make some changes to planning
procedures and will alter the constitution of the Planning Tribunal.

An amendment to the Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967 will
be promoted to bring certain procedures under this Act more into
line with accepted planning procedures.

A Public Archives and Records Bill will be introduced. This will
replace the Archives Act 1957 and take account of changes
stemming from the Official Information Act 1982.

A Bill will be introduced to consolidate and improve procedures
relating to the censorship of films.

The Government will continue to improve the efficiency of
departmental administration through better management
structures. The corporation structure has proved suitable for public
trading activities. Accordingly, legislation will be introduced to
convert the Government Life Insurance Office to a corporation
within the Public Service. This will have the advantages of a
commercial structure while retaining continuity in staffing.

It is proposed to promote a Foreign Affairs Bill which will revise
and replace the Foreign Affairs Act 1943 and update the operation
of the overseas service.

HONOURABLE MEMBERS, the international situation has continued
to be uncertain. In the Middle East, Afghanistan, Africa and Central
America, existing tensions remain unresolved. The conflict over the
Falkland Islands illustrated vividly that isolation does not necessarily
assure security. Against this background and for a number of other
reasons, the Government has taken steps to reassess New Zealand’s
defence needs.
