PARLIAMENT
SESSION TO OPEN ON JUNE 28 By releßraoh Pres? Association WELLINGTON, June 2. An announcement that Parliament would assemble for the despatch of business on Tuesday, June 28, was made this evening by the Prime Minister, the Rt, Hon. M. J. Savage. The session, which is expected to last about three months, will be the last of the present Parliament. Mr Savage said that in view of certain exigencies, chiefly the necessity for passing an Imprest Supply Bill before the end of June, the Cabinet had considered it advisable to call Parliament together one day earlier than was announced last week.
"After the Imprest Supply Bill has been passed we will go ahead with the Address-in-Reply Debate,” said Mr Savage. “We hope to have the Budget introduced by the time this debate is finished, so that we will then be able to go straight on with the financial debate. Following the conclusion of the discussion on the Financial Statement, the way will be clear for the introduction of legislation dealing with the Government’s Superannuation and Free Health Service proposals.” In reply to a question as to when the report of the Special Parliamentary Committee which examined the Social Security proposals was likely to appear Mr Savage said it should be possible to present this document within the first day or so of the session.
