In the Legislative Assembly last night, Mr Ramsay, on behalf of the Opposition, announced that the Legislative Council was prepared to reduce the candidate qualification to be provided by the Reform Bill to LIOO and to withdraw its demand for two Ministers in the Council.

Mr Ramsay, in his speecli following this intimation, strongly urged Government to agree to another Joint Conference of Committees of the two Houses, to agree, if possible, to a compromise in regard to the Bill.
