Final Report.
I have the honour to report that the Native Affairs Committee held its final meeting this morning.
With the ninety petitions held over from previous sessions, the Committee had before it 159 petitions. Of these, seventy-six were fully considered and reported on; the remaining eighty-three are unavoidably held over, and a list of the same is appended hereto.
The Committee also had referred to it the Maori Councils Bill, the Maori Lands Administration Bill, and the Native Lands Control and Administration Bill, all of which were gone through and duly reported to the House.
Before rising the following resolution was unanimously agreed to, viz.:—
"That, owing to the very long hours worked by the Chairman as well as the close attention required, the Committee recommends the Government should favourably consider the advisability of remunerating him for the arduous work he has performed so satisfactorily in connection with Native affairs."
