"LEE LETTER"
QUESTION IN HOUSE
ANSWER IN THE NEGATIVE
A question asked in the House of Representatives some time ago by. Mr. S. G. Holland (National, Christchurch North) regarding the "Lee Letter" was disposed of briefly by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) in his reply today.
Mr. Holland asked the Prime Minister (1) whether the attention of the Government had been directed to a document that had been widely circulated throughout New Zealand by leading trades union officials and others, and which. was now generally known as the "Lee Letter"? (2> Whether it was the intention of the Government to issue a reply to the attacks made in that letter on the Minister of Finance, and to the allegations against the Government, of shilly-shallying, vacillation, lack of policy, drift, and betrayal of the working class? (3) Whether, if such a reply was made over the broadcasting service, the author of the letter concerned would be given the same right of reply?
Mr. Savage replied: "The answer to (2) and (3) is in the negative."
