Bill To Validate Agreement
The report that the signing of any possible agreement on the power station in the Manapouri-Te Anau lake system was “still in the future” is incorrect, according to Professor H. R. Gray, professor. of law at the University of Canterbury. The message from Wellington (published on Saturday) said Government sources were reported to have said that the visit of officers of Consolidated Zinc had no greater significance than the desire to hear Parliamentary argument on the Bill, and the signing of any possible agreement was “still in the future.” "This report is surely mistaken. The Bill is before Parliament to validate an agreement dated January 19. 1960, signed by the Minister of Works (Mr Watt) on behalf of the Government. This agreement gives Consolidated Zinc the fullest powers to establish a power station in connection with the Manapouri-Te Anau lake system,” said Professor Gray.
