A MINISTER'S STATEMENT ALLEGED INDISCRETION (0.C.) WELLINGTON, Sept. 17. "Is the Prime Minister aware that last Saturday evening the Minister of Finance, Mr W. Nash, in a national broadcast informed the world that sailors from a British warship, which he named, were ashore that night in Auckland? asked Mr F. W. Doidge (Opposition, Yauranga) in a question to the Prime Minister, Mr P. Fraser, in the House of Representatives today. Mr Doidge also asked whether the Prime Minister was aware that during his absence overseas private citizens had been prosecuted and punished for lesser indiscretions, and whether he would take steps to see that Ministers of the Crown possessing access to the National Broadcasting Service did not commit similar indiscretions in the future.
