COMPETITION TO BE PERMITTED STORES IN STATE HOUSE AREAS
WELLINGTON, Last Night (PA).— “I have always believed in co-opera-tion and In competition, too, and it will be our policy to give people in State rental house areas the right to enjoy the advantages of competition for their custom,” replied the Prime Minister, Mr. Holland, to a questioner at a Press conference tonight, who sought an indication of the new Government’s policy on consumer cooperative stores in State house areas. Mr. Holland said that the new Government’s policy was also to give private enterprise its rights to give people in State house areas the great advantages of competitive trading. “I know of no reason why co-opera-tive stores cannot compete with any other private enterprise form of trading,’ he said. Mr. Holland, volunteered the Information, “if anyone wants to know.” that he is a small shareholder in the Hutt Valley Consumers’ Co-operative Society. This organisation made a profit of £5730 19s lid up t.o September 30 last on its half year’s trading.
