ORDERS-IN-COUNCIL
N.Z. AND GREAT BRITAIN (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) . WELLINGTON, this day. By way of contrast, when referring in the House of Representatives last night to criticism of the number of Orders-in-Council, Captain McCombs (Govt., Lyttelton) produced a volume containing the year's issue of New Zealand regulations. He then exhibited a pile of British regulations for a year.
The regulations in the New Zealand volume, which was about two and a half inches in thickness, numbered 350, he explained, whereas those from Britain, which made a pile a foot to 15 inches high, totalled 2697. Most of the Dominion regulations, he added, were of a purely machinery nature, and not fit matters for the House to legislate on. Regulations were dealt with by the Government only in so far as the powers given by the House permitted.
