PARLIAMENT HOUSE
Completion of Buildings To
Be Considered
The question of completing Parliament Buildings will be discussed by Cabinet during the recess. The Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage, said yesterday that it seemed likely that the Government would have to complete Parliament House in addition to erecting other public buildings that were necessa r.v.
"The Government feels it would be fitting to commemorate the 100th anniversary of New Zealand in 1940 in some substantial form.” Mr. Savage said. "What better monument could we erect than by completing a number of public works, including public buildings? The Government is determined to go ahead with a vigorous public works policy, and if it has not got the men in the service at present to do the job. it wiil see to it that those men are engaged from outside.”
