RACING LEGISLATION.
WHAT WILE BE DONE
Mr Jennings, the promoter of the Bill to give back to country racing clubs some of the permits they have been deprived of, on the recommendation ot the Racing Commission, asked the Prime Minister in the House this week, what is likely to happen. He wanted either the commission to make its amended report at an early date, or for an opportunity to be given the House of considering his Bill. Mr Jennings stated that he travelled with a member of the commission last week, and became convinced that there was not going to be any report this session. He did not wish his Bill to be debated, but he hoped the Government would allow the House to vote upon it.
Sir Joseph Ward : I informed the questioner on two previous occasions that in the event of the Racing Commission’s report not giving effect to what was suggested, or making any recommendation, that the opportunity would be given to deal with this Bill, and I propose to keep my word. Mr Jennings : I am quite satisfied. He asked if the chairman of the commission was in some part of the world where it was difficult to communicate with him ?
Sir Joseph Ward : I don’t propose to answer that question.
