THE E.P.S.
REDUCED ACTIVITY
UNDER CONSIDERATION : "The question of reducing the activities of the E.P.S. is under immediate consideration, and I am expecting a report almost any moment," said the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser) in the House of Representatives this morning in replying to a question asked by Mr. J. A. Lee. (Democratic Labour, Grey Lynn).
Mr. Lee asked whether the Minister of National Service was aware that a course of 35 compulsory lectures had been arranged by the local E.P.S. and whether it was not time that "more of our wartime bureaucracies were liquidated as fire danger has receded." The Prime Minister said that some of the lectures might be quite good and people might attend them voluntarily, but the Government was looking at that question. Mr. Lee: Thirty-five lectures! ' Owing to the new war situation, and the needs of industry, added the Prime Minister, it would be most inadvisable to put a strain on people unnecessarily.
