SOUTH TRUNK LINE
FAY CASEY REPORT SIR JOSEPH EXPLAINS (THE SUN’S Parliamentary Reporter) PARLIAMENT BLDGS., Friday. The South Island Main Trunk line bobbed up early in the business of the session, M r - H. G - R - Mason (Auckland Suburbs) asking the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Ward, if the detailed arguments of the FayCasey report had been submitted to the authors of the Fay-Raven report. The Prime Minister said that the Fay-Raven commission had been set up by the previous Government, and had recommended that the South Island Main Trunk line should be completed. The preceding Government, however, for reasons best known to itself, had set up a new committee, consisting of Mr. Fay, j u11., and Mr. E. Casey, to explore and report on the new line. They had come back Baying that the Fay-Raven report was wrong. Here the Prime Minister became involved in his remarks on the reports. Mr. W. E. Parry (Auckland Central) : It’s quite plain. Sir Joseph Ward: I couldn’t make it plainer if I talked for a month. (Laughter.) Sir Joseph said that he proposed to ask the House to authorise what the country had confirmed.
