INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Industrial Design Council

For some time past it has been argued that, in order to improve the quality of New Zealand manufactured goods, both for domestic sale and for export, an Industrial Design Council should be set up. In June 1965 the Government announced its intention to do this by legislation which would probably be introduced towards the close of the 1965 session.
