THE PARLIAMENTARY GROUP
R[eweti] T K[ohere]
The talking point on the Tai Rawhiti in February was the visit of a group of members of Parliament and people from the newspapers to see what the country is like, beginning from Rotorua, going on to Te Araroa, and finishing up at Napier. Those members were from all parts of New Zealand; Apirana Ngata was the sole Maori member. The people who gave the invitations and organised this project were Apirana Ngata, Kenneth Williams, member for the Bay of Plenty, Lysnar, member for Gisborne, and Hockly, member for Rotorua.
