A SHORT SESSION
NO TIME TO BE WASTED ON PRIVATE BILLS.
There arc indications that numbers of private members’ bills introduced are likely to meet \Vith a short shift. To-day the Prime Minister gave notice to move that from next week Government business take precedence on Wednesdays,! and also take precedence after local! bills on Thursdays. Mr Massey added that he would place the motion on the order paper for the next sitting day and that the debate on it would bo continued until concluded. From this statement it seems that the usual waste of time over private members’ measures 'which have no chance of passing will not take place this year, and that the session will bo correspondingly shortened.
