Adjournment Of House
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day
An indication that when the House of Representatives rose yesterday the adjournment would be taken until 2.3 G p.m. on Wednesday, after which the business of this part'd' the session would be carried through without further delay,was given by the Prime Minister (Hon. P. Fraser) in ihe House yesterday afternoon. Mr. Fraser said the reason for the long adjournment was that transport difficulties proven!ed the members getting back sooner if they went, to their homes. He had discussed the matter with the Leader of the Opposition and they agreed that if a long adjournment was taken this weekend the House would then (subject only to any interruption, which was unlikely) go right through until the business of this part of the session was finished. Mr. D. W. Coleman (Govt.-Gisborne): Does that mean sitting on Mondays and Saturdays? Mr. Fraser: Yes.
