No. 539.—Petition of Matiu Pihirita and 89 Others.
Petitioners pray that the Maori Councils Bill may pass into law.
I am directed to report that, this petition being on a question of policy, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 539.—Pitihana a Matiu Pihirita ine etahi atu e waru tekau ma iwa.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia paahitia te Pire Kaunihera Maori hei ture.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea e pa ana tenei pitihana ki nga tikanga whakahaere a te Kawanatanga, na reira kaore kau a te Komiti kupu.
