STANDING ORDERS
PRIVATE MEMBERS’ BILL PRIME MINISTER'S WARNING [Per Press Association] WELLINGTON, Sept. 18. The House met at 10.30 a.m., when Mr F. W. Schramm (Auckland East) moved to suspend the Standing to enable a private Bill to be introduced and passed through all stages. The Prime Minister issued a warning to members and local bodies that in future such Bills would be blocked. The Standing Orders of the House were there for a purpose, and should not be lightly set aside. There was a semblance of justification in the present case, but that was the same in many other cases. The Standing Orders of the House should be strictly adhered to. Mr Schramm gave notice of his intention to introduce the Napier Gas Company Amendment and Enlarging Bill, Hawke’s Bay Rivers Amendment Bill, Bay of Islands Harbour Amendment Bill, and Auckland Harbour Board Empowering Bill. They were each read a first time.
