LICENSING LEGISLATION.
PREMIER’S STATEMENT.
The member for Invercargill (Mr Hanan) asked the Prime Minister why the Government is delaying at this stage of the session the introduction of an amending Bill dealing with the licensing laws, and has given priority of consideration to several measures of minor public importance and interest.
The reply of the Prime Minister was as under :—“The Government has arranged its programme so as to expedite business and suit the convenience of Parliament and the public. The measures referred to by the honorable member as having been given priority are measures of much public interest and importance.’’ Curiosity in respect to future licensing legislation was also evinced by Mr Wilford, who gave notice to ask the Prime Minister if it was a fact that arrangements were being made for the license issues to be submitted to the electors at the next election in this amended form:—(i) Whether local no-license be abolished ; (2) whether Dominion license shall be retained on a 55 per cent, majority instead of the present majority.
