P-NG Will Look At Constitution

Papua-New Guinea will set up a select committee of the House of Assembly to draft a programme of constitutional development for the Territory.

Notice of motion to set up the committee was given at the February sitting of the House by the leader of the elected members, Mr. John Guise. He said he would introduce the motion in June, and give details then.

The committee, he said, would meet from time to time and present its final report to the House on or before the second last meeting.

Mr. Guise’s statement was re ceived without comment, but undoubtedly the move will be supported by the House.
