N.Z. BICYCLE FACTORY
Mr Skinner’s Challenge “I challenge the Minister of Industries and Commerce to publish the original agreement with the firm in Hastings which proposes to make bicycles,” said the DeputyLeader of the Opposition (Mr Skinner) in Waimate last evening. He was speaking in the Waitaki by-election campaign. “It may have been altered —I don’t know—but it should be published to let people know. It will not be as described in the newspaper this morning.” Mr Skinner said the Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake), at the opening of the aluminium rolling mills in Auckland, had said he welcomed new industries based on Commonwealth finance and without Government protection. "Is the Hastings factory to be established with money from the Commonwealth? I understand that Monarch cycles is a Swedish firm. “The Government refuses to have an agreement wth an honourable British company,” said Mr Skinner, referring to the Nelson cotton mill project. "Then it enters the same type of agreement with a foreign concern.”
