The National Party organised an "open forum" in Wellington last December. Advertised topics included the News Media Ownership and Narcotics acts, and Rhodesia.

MPs Riddiford, Adams-Schneider, McCready, and a British Conservative MP, Dame Joan Vickers, made up the panel.

About 200 people were in the Savage Club hall for the forum, which began with a question read by the chairman. Mr. J. S. Meadowcroft (President of the National Party) on the Narcotics Act.
