NO PROGRESS
WORK ON PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Oct. 17. While there was a housing shortage in the country no progress would be made on completing Parliament Buildingisi according to the original plan, said the Minister of Works (the Hon. W. S. Goosman) when the vote on the Estimates for the maintenance of Public Works and Services was under dissussion in the' House of Representatives to-day. Mr Goosman was replying to the Rev. Clyde Carr (Oppn., Timaru), who asked if there was any prospect of completing Parliament House according to the original plan. He said he would like to see a permanent building worthy of the Dominion. Mr Goosman said that, a lot of money had been spent on the library wing of Parliament because the Government believed that the Opposition members should be given decent accommodation. Mr Carr: What would you have said had we done that? That we were feathering our nests?, Mr R. G. Gerard (Govt., Ashburton). You didn’t feather ours.
