Parliamentary representation
Sir, — I am sure the Parliamentary conference would be interested to learn that our escalating non-vote, which is now 30 per cent, equals the population of the South Island. I would like to hear members’ views on whether they agree with me that lawyers becoming legislators contravenes the separation of powers.—Yours, etc., ROBERT MacGREGOR. Hastings. November 29, 1979.
