PARLIAMENT
LENGTH OF SESSION?. MUCH WORK STILL AHEAD. With the end of the Financial debate in sight, members are now speculating as to when the work of the present session of Parliament will bo commenced (states the “Dominion”’). In reply to a question on Saturday, the Prime Minister said that he expected the House to rise about the second week in October, but if his estimate is to be realised business will have to bo accelerated during the next few weeks. A further instalment of the Government’s legislation programme should show up at any time now, chief among the measures expected being the Transport Bill. In any case there is sufficient element of contention in some of the Bills already on the Order Paper, due for committal or second leading, to keep members fully occupied. Good progress has been made with the presentation of departmental reports, but opportunities have yet to he provided for the discussion of them Tho next important document to be tabled is the Railways Statement, which may appear this week.
