Flutter over flag move
PA Wellington The Government’s decision to revoke wartime regulations honouring the New Zealand flag was predictable nonsense that did not go far enough, / the former Minister of Education, Mr M. L. Wellington, said yesterday. Mr Wellington, the National member of Parlia-
ment for Papakura, said the 1941 regulations were clearly inappropriate for 1985 “I think Trafalgar Day is there, from memory,” he said. “But I don’t think he (the Minister of Education, Mr Marshall) has gone far enough.” Mr Wellington said Mr Marshall should do what he
proposed to do in March, 1984, when he was Minister. Then, Mr , Wellington said regulations would :be gazetted requiring all schools to raise the flag every day. He said he was not surprised Mr Marshall had not taken that course, however. -7 ■■ '■J.;' “He spent some months in 1984 complaining about what I was going to do.”
