WAR FINANCE
MEASURES NOT READY YET AMENDMENTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY ACT RECTIFYING ANOMALIES [Prom Our. Parliamentary Reporter.] WELLINGTON, September 20. After the meeting of Cabinet to-day the Acting Prime Minister (the Hon. P. Fraser) said the Government was not yet ready to introduce its war finance legislation, and the possibility was that this would be held over until nest week. Despite the delay indicated by Mr Fraser’s announcement, it is learned that the House will have plenty to occupy its attention until the major legislation appears. Amendments to the Social Security Act have still to bo passed. These will rectify a number of anomalies, in accordance with the promises already made by the Government, and will include a clause carrying out an agreement made between the Government and the British Medical Association in respect to maternity benefit contracts, which the doctors are now operating. It is almost certain that a Bill extending the provisions of the Fair Rents Act, and possibly other aspects of this question, particularly housing in Wellington during the exhibition, will also be brought down.
