NEW PARLIAMENT
Early Opening Date Advocated OPINION OF MR HOLLAND (N.Z.P.A.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 14. A request that an immediate announcement of an early date of the meeting of the new Parliament should be made, was contained in a telegram sent to-day to the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser), to Wellington by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr S. G. Holland), who is in North Canterbury. The telegram read: “In view of the urgent need for Parliament to discuss and decide manv important questions, but especially the acute question of manpower, it is highly desirable that an immediate announcement should be made as to the date on which Parliament will meet, and, in view of the urgency, importance and public concern regarding these vital matters, and the customary delays inseparable from the opening of the new Parliament. no time should be lost in calling Parliament together so that the newly-elected representatives of the people may decide what is to be done.”
