WORK OF PARLIAMENT
BATCH OF BILLS NEXT WEEK
Contrary to popular lobby belief, the Government is quite . well advanced with its immediate sessional programme, and a further "batch of important Bills w,ill be presented to the House of Representatives next week.
Satisfaction' with the progress, made with the Government measures already before Parliament was expressed by the Prime Minister (the Bt. Hon. G. W. Forbes) this afternoon, when announcing that among the Bills to be introduced next week would be a Finance Bill dealing with a variety of items, the policy measure providing for. the permanent establishment of four-yearly Parliaments in New Zealand and the comprehensive amendment dealing withmining questions. Another measure ready for presentation, he added, was the Slaughtering and Inspection Amend-ment-Bill.
In reply to a question, Mr. Forbes said that the date for the introduction of the Budget had not yet been fixed. Tho presentation.... of the Financial Statement was-still some distance away, but there would be found in the Govi eminent legislation now ready for submission ample material to occupy the attention of the House in the meantime.
