BUDGET DATE
MINISTER’S HINT {P.A.) WELLINGTON, August 1. ■ A hint that the Budget will lie presented on August 15 was given by the Minister of Finance (the Rt. Hon. W. Nash) in the House of Representatives this evening. The Leader of the Opposition (Mr S. G. Holland) asked the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) if he could give the date of the Budget. Mr Fraser replied that he had seen some announcement in the newspapers. “Two were mentioned, August 8 and 15,” commented Mr Holland. “I presume it will be the second.” Mr Nash: That would lie a better presumption than the eighth. Mr Fraser: I was hoping it would be the eighth. Mr Holland (apparently referring to the bareness of the order paper): I’ll bet you were.
