No. 228.—Petition of Hare Rakena te Aweawe and 52 Others.
Petitioners pray that in order to be in a position to pay off their debts they may be allowed to sell their spare lands to purchasers other than the Government.
I have the honour to report that as there is a Bill now before the House dealing with the subject the Committee has no recommendation to make.
