PARLIAMENT'S WORK

TWO MORE BILLS PASSED (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. A measure which met with approval from both sides of the House, the Wool Industry Bill was passed m the House of Representatives last evening. Before adjourning the House also passed a formal measure, the Agricultural Emergency Regulations Confirmation Bill.;■ The debate on the Wool Industry Bill was interrupted in the evening to permit of the introduction of the Emergency Regulations Amendment Bill, which extends the operation of the Emergency Regulations Act, 1939, for another year to December 31, 1945, and also validates any regulations made under the Act. An amendment making a minor adjustment on the Order Paper was also introduced. At the afternoon sitting the report of the Select Committee which inquired into servicemen's voting at the General Election last year was tabled by the chairman of the committee, Mr. Osborne (Govt., Onehunga). The Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, indicated that the report would probably be discussed early next week. From comments across the House it was obvious that this discussion will be vigorous.
