The conference formed part of the fact finding and orientation stage of The Housing Commission’s work. It served as a listening exercise to examine the complex constitutional questions that arose, and the various proposals that were made around the potential wording for an amendment to the Constitution. It also assisted the commission in its task to advise the government, in an independent and objective manner, regarding the critical factors for consideration, and to make recommendations on the appropriate wording to be put to the people.
