THE PRIVILEGE CASES.
The Committee appointed to investigate the charges of alleged breach of privilege, which arose over the Payne episode in the House, practically reported that the whole matter should be allowed to drop. The House rightly agreed to this course being .pursued. At a period of extreme tension, Mr Massey committed a technical error, and ho apologised to the House for having done so.
This really closed the case as far as ho was concerned. In regard to -Mr Payne, that gentleman will be conserving his own interests and those of the country by exercising a little more discretion in the future. The question of his pledge is now really a matter between himself, his constituents, and the Labour Party which he is supposed to represent.
