He said the purpose of the meeting was to review the ground that had been covered, since the last election and the grounds that would be covered before the next election. “There has been a very healthy inquiry in various parts of New Zealand but particularly in Auckland from people interested in knowinghow to qualify as National Party candidates,” said Mr Holland. This idicated that a particularly good type of candidate would be offering.
