NO CONFIDENCE
OPPOSITION MOVE
NATIONAL PARTY
UNITED ORGANISATION
The Leader of the Opposition (the Hon. A. Hamilton), in the House on Thursday, will move.- a motion of no confidence in the Government. Mr. Hamilton said today this step was in accordance with the National Party's attitude in opposing the present Government's method of controlling the country's affairs.
"We feel it our duty," he said, "to oppose by every constitutional means in our power those parts of the Government's policy which we believe have reacted seriously to the detriment of the Dominion. The people expect us to defend their interests - : and although we have been left small in numbers I can assure them that in a full sense of our responsibility we intend to exercise all the rights of an Opposition to examine fully all legislation introduced by the Government and its administration.
Mr. Hamilton said that the Opposition was a solidly-united body and, although their opponents had made many attempts to create the impression in the public mind that there was dissension in their ranks, this was obviously an attempt to detract attention from the troubles existing within the ranks of the Government.
