Oram) back to the House of Representatives today after his attendance at the historic opening recently of the House of Commons. Mr Oram, acknowledging the welcome, said that the magnificent and impressive, simple and symbolic proceedings in London and the example of pageantry were such as could be put on only by England and the British people. The new chamber of the House of Commons was beautitul in its simplicity. He could not help but be proud to be the representative of New Zealand for the occasion. Everywhere he had been and on every occasion New Zealand was paid the highest honour. Mr Oram said that on his return to the Dominion this morning he had visited the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Fraser, and had conveyed messages of good wishes to him from many people in the Old Country.
