(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

WELLINGTON, Friday

'Tew legislative measures will be submitted to Parliament during the session which is to open on June 28," the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, said this evening. There would be little legislation beyond that dealing with the Government superannuation and free health service proposals and the Education Amendment Bill, which was introduced at the end of last session circulated for consideration by interested parties and the Education Committee of the House of Representatives. ."These will be the main measures," said Mr. Savage. "The Imprest Supply will have to be dealt with at the beginning of the session, and no donbt other odds and ends requiring attention will crop up, but there is not likely , to be anything substantial in.any of these. The social security proposals will probably be covered by one bill. The Budget should be ready for introduction toward the end of the Address-in-Reply debate.

"We want to get through the business as soon as we can," added the Prime Minister. "Business people are always anxious about the late sitting of Parliament. There is a general election carcpajga to follow the session and we want to get. that over in reasonable time before Christmas."
