Butter deal
The Labour Party has welcomed the agreement on butter access to the European Economic Community as a sensible compromise. The party’s spokesman on trade and marketing, Mr M. K. Moore, said in Christchurch last evening that he was pleased with the deal. “I hope to be Minister of Trade and Marketing and this means we will be able to spend less time in Europe and concentrate on new markets and new ideas,” Mr Moore said. He said that in 1940 New Zealand sent 80 per cent of all its produce to Britain, a figure which had now dropped to 13 per cent. “The challenge for me as a new Minister will be to diversify our products as successfully as Joe Walding diversified their destinations,” he said, referring to the third Labour Government.
