SERVICEMEN'S VOTES
COMMITTEE TO INQUIRE
(By Telegraph .—Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON, this day. A select committee to inquire into and report on the organisation and methods employed in recording votes of servicemen at the general election was set up by the House of Representatives last night, on the motion of the Prime Minister, Mr. Eraser. The original motion referred to the votes of servicemen overseas, but the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Holland, urged that voting by servicemen in New Zealand should come under the survey. To this the Prime Minister readily agreed. The members of the committee are the Prime Minister, the Minister of Rehabilitation (Major Skinner) and Messrs. Bodkin (Nat, Central Otago), Connolly (Govt, Dunedin W ) Goosman (Nat, Waikato), Mac Donald (Nat., Mataura), Macfarlane (Govt, Christchurch S.), Osborne (Govt Onehunga), Richards (Govt, Roskill) and Watts (Nat., Riccarton).
