WORK OF PARLIAMENT
THE FEBRUARY SITTING GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSALS " ONLY IMPORTANT MEASURES " [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION"] WELLINGTON. Wednesday The Prirpe Minister, Mr. Forbes, said to-day that when Parliament resumed next month business would be confined to important measures only. The sitting might bo regarded more as a special session than the final days of the 1934 session, and minor bills would have to wait until the main 1935 session. At present the only important matter in view was proposals regarding mortgage and finance, and it was probable that they would be the main subject for the consideration of members. The Government had not considered sending a Minister to England to attend the King's Silver Jubilee celebrations and the informal Empire Conferences to be hold at the sanle time, said Mr. Forbes. There was no need, anywav, to trouble about the Question until March. Mr. Forbes said it was probable that a fairly large section of the public would be disappointed at the delay in the Gaming Amendment Bill and the Bible in Schools Bill, but on the other hand a number of dog-owners would be pleased to learn that the Alsatian Bill was to be postponed indefinitely.
