X-rated quotes?
The air may have been s blue at the end of a Christ- < church City Council committee meeting, but reporters’ < ears were spared. i A health and general com- i mittee debate on the pros s and cons of allowing street I sales of 1979 University of ; Canterbury capping maga- i zines was held in private. < The Mayor (Mr H. G. Hay) said it might not have i been entirely legal to do that, 1 but the committee’s chair- , man (Sir Robert Macfarlane) i
said there were good reasons. Sir Robert said he had a copy of the magazine, and might have to quote from it. Such quotes might not be suitable in a public meeting. Details of where magazine profits were disbursed was also in the report, and those could not be made public. But there would be a full report to the open council meeting this month, Sir Robert said. What had been said in committee could be brought out there.
