PARLIAMENTARY PENSIONS
Sir, —X wish to ask the members of the Government what they intend to do as a fair thing for the women of New Zealand. I read with disgust of their decision to provide themselves with liberal pensions after nine years’ service in Parliament, and I am wondering what they are prepared to do for more deserving people. What form of gratuity are they going to allow to our beloved nurses, who give the most devoted service to New Zealand throughout their working lives? Nurses are poorly paid for long hours of unselfish work, and they receive few privileges and amenities in the form of clubs and opportunities for social intercourse. Is the Government going to do anything to add to their happiness and security?—l am, etc., Colin Reid Jane.
