THE SESSION
—*— ADJOURNMENT THIS WEEK LIKELY BUSINESS FOR THE HOUSE [From Our Parliamentary Reporter.] WELLINGTON, July, 29. The conclusion of the first part of the present session of Parliament is likely to be reached this week, and the House of Representatives may adjourn on Thursday or Friday for probably a fortnight. It is unlikely that the remnants of the Government’s legislative programme will be crammed into the present week, and instead a Finance Bill No. 2 and two washing-up bills will probably be held over until the House resumes after the first adjournment. Business definitely set down for this week includes consideration of the Supplementary Estimates, which are expected to appear to-day, the Broadcasting Account (the only item of the main Estimates not yet passed), the war pensions legislation introduced last Friday, and a Rural Housing Bill containing minor amendments to the existing legislation. In addition, it is probable that an Insurance Companies Bill will be introduced this week. A statement on future arrangements for the session is expected to be made in the House to-morrow afternoon by the Prime Minister.
