On behalf of the Government, said the Minister, he had offered £5,000 a year in settlement of the Wairoa and Bay of Plenty claims. The offer had been accepted. A similar offer was made to Taranaki natives, but. a conference decided that £IO,OOO would be more appropriate, although it was stated that the tribes concerned were prepared to accept £5,000.
