END OF THE SESSION.
LEGISLATIVE RECORD.
IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 12.5 a.m.) LONDON. Aug. 17. The past session of the House of Commons, which lasted six and ahalf months, achieved a record output of legislation. It is noteworthy that the closure was seldom used, and that the time-wasting devices of party warfare were reduced to a minimum. The tendency of the Government to monopolise the time of the House has been a less desirable feature of the session. Of 126 Bills introduced into the House of Commons, 35 only were introduced by private members, and of these three were passed. The Government passed 23 Bills of first-class importance. Other Bills, including the Government of India Bill, will be considered in the autumn.
