CROWN SUITS ACT.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 20. The Government is at present going into the question of an amendment to the Crown Suits Act and for this purpose is obtaining information on the subject from other Empire countries. This information was given at a meeting to-day of the executive of the Associated Chambers of Commerce. The president reported that a deputation representative of the Associated Chambers had waited on the Prime Minister and asked that the Government take up the Bill which had been prepared privately and which sought to remove from Government trading ventures certain of the privileges they at present enjoyed under the Crown Suits Act, and t-o place them on the same footing as regard suing and being sued as private traders and private citizens generally. As soon ns the Government secured information from abroad it would go further into the matter.
