SECRET SITTING

DISCUSSION ON WAR SITUATION [Pee United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, November 27. The question of another secret sitting of the House before the present session ends was "raised by Air J. A. Lee in an urgent question to the Prime; Alinister when the House met at 2.30 p.m. today. Air Lee asked the Prime Alinister if he would make a statement on our 1 war position before the House rose for 1940, arid, if required subsequently, whether an opportunity would be given members for discussion of the war situation in general and the Dominion’s war effort in particular. Air Fraser, in reply, said that if the House expressed a general wish for a discussion on the war situation and the Dominion’s war effort he would be pleased to arrange for such a discussion, probably in a secret session. Ha ■ added that he thought it only right that members should have the fullest information available on the war situation, and he suggested that the secret sitting should be held as the last, business of the present session at the end of next week, perhaps to-morrow (Thursday) week. The Leader of the Opposition, Air Holland: As long as we have ample time for discussion. Air Fraser: Yes, there will be ample time.
