MANAPOURI PETITION
Committee to meet today
(N.Z. Frees Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 9. The Parliamentary Select Committee discussing the "Save Manapouri” petition would not be “having another Manapouri investigation,” the Acting Prime Minister (Mr Shelton) said after the weekly meeting of the Cabinet today. He said the committee probably would meet tomorrow to decide whether the press should be admitted to its deliberations. But Mr Shelton said the Royal Commission had already analysed, and reported back on, wide-ranging evidence about Manapouri. The committee’s task was to discuss the petition itself. He said the only undertaking the Government had given regarding evidence to be heard by the committee was that the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society—the petitioner—would be asked to state its case.
