A Parliamentary Select Committee recommended a ministerial form of government for Papua New Guinea next year. About 1,050 public servants from three central offices and one authority will be transferred to Canberra over four years, including 250 officers to be moved in 1967 and 1968. The plan aims to centralize policy making and budgeting, with housing for transferees a major concern and opposition calling for a corresponding public housing program. The transfer involves the Repatriation, Supply, Education and Science, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation offices, plus staff from Melbourne and Sydney in 1967 69. The move follows calls for better housing and raised housing stock, with officials noting potential population growth and the need for adequate accommodation. The report also touches on the national capital development plan and possible establishment of a housing commission.
