During the debate on the State Budget, Mr Cameron condemned Mr Hunt's land settlement policy, and moved a motion which involves want of confidence in tlte Government. The debate was postponed. Mr Cameron recently resigned from the Bent Cabinet. He was Minister for Public Works and Health. The reconstructed Ministry contains a larger proportion of representation of country interests than the Ministry as it was constituted at the opening of the session. In a policy speech recently, Mr Hunt announced the land policy of the Ministry, as far as it has been decided by the Cabinet. He stated that the Government proposed to utilise its powers under existing laws, to extend the time in which selectors could make payments, and to relieve them from S>aymenis for -throe to ' six years, jegislation was also promised to otherwise improve the conditions of selection. Without committing the Cabinet, he personally favored the adoption of a system of limitation of holdings 'to a value of £30,000 or £40,000. ■-
