LICENSING BILL.
INTRODUCTION NEXT WEEK. AMPLE TIME FOR CONSIDERATION. (Times Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The eagerly-awaited Licensing Amendment Bill will probably be introduced into the House, of Representatives next, week, according to a statement made by the-Prime Minister ((Rt. lion. J. G. Coates) to-day in reply to a question by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr H. E. Holland). Mentioning that the House was now well past the middle of the session, Mr Holland asked the Prime Minister to give an assurance that the Bill would be brought down on a date which would not involve delay in the printing of ballot and other papers should the Bill as passed require alterations to be made in them for the coming polls. “ I can assure the House that the Bill will be brought down and that Parliament will have an opportunity of dealing with it in ample time to allow of any such alterations being made should the measure be passed,” replied the Prime Minister. “It is possible the Bill will be introduced next week. That is as near a date as 1 can give the Leader of the Opposition.”
