SHORTER SPEECHES IN HOUSE
full day on address-in-reply DEBATE
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, July 1. Shorter speeches than have been the rule in the past characterised the full day spent on the Address-m-Reply debate by members of the House of Representatives to-day, after the moving and seconding of the Address-in-Replv motion, which took place last evening. The attack on the Government was opened this morning by the Leader of the Opposition (the Hon. A. Hamilton), whose arguments were crystallised in a no-confidence amendment. From then on the debate proceeded on orthodox lines, with the Government and Opposition speakers evenly matched, a prominent feature of the discussion being the “insulation theory” of the Government. The speakers after Mr Hamilton were the Minister for Education (the Hon. P. Fraser), Mr W. P. Endean (National, Parnell), Mr E. L Cullen (Government, Hawke’s Bay), Mr W. • J. Poison (National, Stratford), Mr C. M. Williams (Government, Kaiapoi), Mr J. A. Roy (National, Clutha), and Mr P. Ncilson (Government, Dunedin Central). The House rose at 5.25 p.m.
