Mr Nash Promises Investigation Into Petrol Contracts
Special Correspondent WELLINGTON, Apl, 15. “It is obvious that the statements made by the Dunedin, manager of the Shell Oil Company, Mr H. I. Sinclair, that aviation petrol contracts have been allocated by the Government to the British Petroleum Company of New Zealand, Ltd,, without reference to competitive tenders by established companies will have to be examined,” said the ActingPrime Minister, Mr Nash, yesterday. Mr Nash said he would arrange for Mr Sinclair’s statement to be checked, and later he would be glad to make a statement concerning the Government’s policy.
