PARLIAMENT
New Zealand’s representation at the Imperial Conference was brought a stage nearer yesterday morning when the leaders of the Reform and Labour Parlies both gave assurances that their followers wo - uld assist in facilitating the business of the House of Representaitives so as to enable the Prime Milliter, Hon. G. W- Forbes, to leave the Dominion in time to attend the conference in London. A vigorous reply to criticism levelled at the Government during the Financial Debate was made by the Prime Minister, Hon. G. W. Forbes, in closing the debate in the Mouse of Representatives yesterday afternoon. He justified the Government’s taxing proposals as being necessary in the circumstances, making special reference to the petrol tax, and pointing out that if the House did not agree to it, the Government, had no intention of paying the grants and subsidies which it was designed to meet, but which . had hitherto come out of the Consolidated Fund.
