The Labour Party has not yet met to consider what attitude it will take during the debate on the Imprest Su]> piv Bill, but the possibility of a lengthy discussion on the subject oJ unemployment is lessened considerably in view of the anouncement of the outline of the new scheme to be presented to the Ho -se, together with details of the new Government’s programme on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister this morning stated he had not yet decided whether he, as Leader of the House, or Mr Stewart as Minister of Finance, would present the statement, but it will probably be Mr Stewart. He did not contemplate a discussion on the Government's programme immediately following its submission, as time would have to be allowed for its circulation among, and consideration by members. There was. however, other important business to occupy the attention of the House on Tuesday. A necessary motion to enable , discussion of the Railway, Board’s recommendations would be moved and the debate on the issue be commenced.
