mar 5, 1945 - Proposal to provide rental housing for Maori in main urban centres declined

Description:

In 1944/45 a proposal to provide rental housing for Maori in the main urban centres using the Housing Construction Division of the Ministry of Works was put to the Minister of Housing by H G R Mason, the Native Minister from January 1943 to December 1946. However, although this proposition was held by Mason to be a 'matter of vital importance', no action was taken.
