RESTORATION OF WAGES CUTS
FINANCE BILL TO-DAY. (From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, July 21. The Finance Bill, the main provision of which is the restoration of the wage and salary cuts imposed by a General Order in 1931, will definitely be introduced in the House of Representatives to-morrow, according to an announcement made this evening by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage). The second reading debate on the Bill will be opened on Thursday, and when the House resumes to-morrow attention will be given to the adjourned second reading debate on the Motor Vehicles Amendment Bill, which was introduced before the House rose for the midwinter recess.
The Prime Minister repeated that it was the desire of the Government to have the Finance Bill passed as soon as possible. Urgency would probably be taken for the measure, he said, although the Government did not propose to push the matter through without allowing reasonable scope for discussion.
