LOCAL BODY REFORM
“You may take it definitely from me now that there will not be a commission to investigate local government. I believe that there is sufficient data and information available in our Government departments and other quarters to proceed now with the task of local government reform. With the advice and assistance of those who have made a study of this subject for years and are thereby competent to advise, we can surely devise a scheme which will best serve the needs of our people, and the conditions. “It is the Government’s responsibility to lay down the principles to be followed for any-needed reform in local government, and it will do so. In framing those principles we will invite the help and co-operation of those who are qualified to give it.”— Hon. W. E. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs.
