DEFENCE FORCES PERSONNEL
COMMITTEE NO LONGER NEEDED (From Our Parliamentary Reporter) Wellington, August 31. The need for the services of the Defence Forces Personnel Committee no longer existed now that hostilities had ended, stated the Minister of Defence, Mr F. Jones. “It Will be remembered,” said the Minister, “that the committee was established to assist me in maintaining as far as possible a proper balance in the utilisation of manpower between the armed services and civil employment. The committee by its efforts and investigations throughout the Dominion was able to submit to me from time to time valuable reports and recommendations in pursuance of its order of reference.
“1 desire,” added the Minister, “to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation to the members of the committee for their services which I know imposed a considerable burden on their time, but which were rendered in the general public interest in a difficult petiod.”
