POLICY OF LABOUR.
THE PARLIAMENTARY GROUP. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 7. The following statement in connection with the attitude of the National Council of the Alliance of Labour towards the committee appointed by the Government to report upon the Workers’ Compensation Act, was today made by Mr J. Fraser, JVI.P., secretary of the Parliamentary Labour Party:— “In view of the fact that some conjecture and comment have been caused as to what effect the recent pronouncement by the Alliance of Labour ini regard to the Government will have on the attitude of the Labour Party in Parliament, I wish to make it perfectly clear that, while the Labour Party in Parliament will always give the expressed opinions of trade union organisations consideration 1 , they certainly are entitled to claim that tlie only body competent to decide the policy of the Labour Party is its annual conference, on which the affiliated trade unions are represented. The method of putting that policy into operation in the House of Representatives is a matter for the judgment and decision of the Labour members of Parliament.”
