More Inquiries On Migration
C.V 7. Press Association) LONDON, Feb. 10. Migration inquiries at New Zealand House last month were the highest since April of last year, when a repressive British budget was announced Reporting this yesterday, the Chief Migration Officer (Mr R Nicholson) said the removal by the Government of the ceiling of the number of migrants which could go to New Zealand under the subsidy scheme had been a good thing. “The situation is now wide open,” he said “If New Zealand industry wants migrants there is no reason now why it cannot go out and get them. It is up to employers to use the scheme to get the people they want.
“There is no shortage of people here who want to go to New Zealand.”
