ABACK ON HIGH EXCHANGE

MR. VEITCH'S BILL'S CHANCE

QUESTIONS ASKED IN HOUSE.

NOTICE OF NUMEROUS BILLS.

THIRD PARTY RISK LEGISLATION.

By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night.

Mr. W. A. Veitch (Co., Wanganui) asked in the House of Representatives to-day whether in view of the importance of the question involved in the Banks Indemnity (exchange) Repeal Bill the Government would take it up as a Government measure, or alternatively give the House facilities to reach a vote on it.

The Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes said the Government did not propose to take up the Bill. Mr. Veitch must take his chance with other members so far as the Bill’s progress through the House was concerned.

Mr. Langstone: He knows what that chance will be!

Replying to Mr. C. C. Carr (Lab., Timaru), who asked that the legislation relating to motorists’ third party risks should be tightened, the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates said the figures showed the Act was fulfilling its object. Notice of intention to introduce the following Bills was given: Arbitration 'Clauses (protocol) and Arbitration (Foreign Awards) Bill (Mr. Forbes), Trustee Amendment (the Rt. Hon. J. G. Coates), A. and P. Societies’ Amendment (the Hon. C. E. Macmillan), Judicature Amendment (the Hon. J. G. Cobbe), Law of Libel Amendment (Mr. Cobbe), Marriage Amendment (Mr. Cobbe), Scenery Preservation Amendment (the Hon. E. A. Ransom), Nurses and Midwives Registration Amendment (the Hon. J. A. Young), National Art Gallery and Dominion Museum Amendment (Mr. Young), Gaming Amendment (Mr. E. F. Healy), Fire Insurance Companies Liability Bill (Mr. A. M. Samuel), Auckland Harbour Board Empowering Bill (Mr. W. E. Parry).
