LENGTH OF SESSION
PRIME MINISTER’S FORECAST. WELLINGTON, August 5. Basing a calculation on the progress made to date, the Prime Minister (Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Ward) stated last night that he thought the session of Parliament now in progress should finish by the end of September. ‘ The debate on the Financial Statement, which will commence in the House to-morrow evening, is expected by the Prime Minister to last about two weeks. Parliament will have been six weeks in session -’next Thursday, so that, on the Prime Minister’s reckoning, the session is almost halfway through. Calculations are liable to ibe upset, however, should' members develop a particularly talkative mood, signs' of which have already been apparent several times. >
