Toilets, steaks upset M.P.
PA Wellington The member of Parliament for Pakuranga, Mr Neil Morrison, yesterday described - Parliament’s toilets and the steak meals at Bellamys as a disgrace. The Democratic Party member said he found the state of some of the toilets “absolutely atrocious.” “I haven’t got any doubt that there are a few strange diseases getting around,” he said, during debate on the third reading of two appropriation bills in Parliament. “The toilet adjacent to my office smells like a men’s dirty toilet and I think it is a disgrace,” he said.
Mr Morrison was also critical of the steak meals
served at Bellamys restaurants at Parliament. He said he would be totally ashamed to take anyone to Bellamys and “shout” them a steak meal.
“If the Minister of Overseas Trade were to take a meat buyer from West Germany and try to promote our meat from what is served up in Bellamys he wouldn’t get many orders.” .
Mr Morrison admitted he was not a connoisseur or any great chef, “but I’m damned sure I could cook a better steak than they supply up there. >, ..?• “I think it is a disgrace to one of the biggest productive export earners in the country.” :
