NO APPROACH TO MR HOLLAND
POSSIBILITY OP AN ELECTION “I recognise the difficulties of the position and I feel that the GovernmeiU is entitled to take whatever time is required to reach a decision,” said the Leader of the Opposition (Mr S. G. Holland) in an interview with "The Press” yesterday, when he discussed the possibility of an election being held. He himself had not yet been approached by the Government about the position, Mr Holland added. ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK LIKELY (P.R.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 29. The question whether New Zealand will have a General Election soon is almost certain to be resolved this week. The expectation is that the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser) will make his first announcement on the floor of the House. The view is held in the lobbies, where the question is the chief topic of discussion, that to-morrow’s meeting of the caucus of the Labour Party will expedite the release of the Government’s decision. “There is a probability of further consideration being given this week to the medical practitioner amendments of the Social Security Act,” said Mr Fraser, when discussing this week’s list of business for the House.
