TODAY'S rROCEEDINGS
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The House of Representatives met at 2.30 p.m. today.
Mr. S. G. Holland (National, Christchurch North) gave notice to ask the Minister of Public Works (the Hon. R. Semple) whether it was true that because the steel framework of the new Government buildings in Stout Street, Wellington, had been permitted to become corroded through lack of protection from the weather, it would be necessary to spend thousands of pounds to remove the rust; also, would the Minister give instructions that in future the different processes of building construction should be co-ordinated so as to avoid such waste.
In a notice of question >s addressed to the Minister of Health (the Hon. P. Fraser), Mrs. C. Stewart (Government, Wellington West) drew attention to the shortage of accommodation in maternity hospitals in Wellington and asked what steps it was proposed to take to deal with the position.
(Proceeding.)
