SESSIONS OF PARLIAMENT
CONSIDERATION OF EARLIER OPENING OBSERVATIONS BY PREMIER (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Asked by an interviewer last evening if he were able to indicate when Parliament was likely to meet, the Prime Minister, said he did not think it would be necessary to call Parliament together before the normal time in June. However, there was much to be said for opening Parliament about May, and he intended to consult with the Audit and Treasury authorities and see if this were not possible in future. For years there had been complaints about Parliament sitting into the hot months of the year. “It would be much more satisfactory for everybody if a session could finish about September,” said Mi- Savage. “By terminating the session early this year we have been able to get the electin out of the way in good time and still give any amount of breathingspace between the election and Christmas. Whatever business men may think of the Government, I think they will approve a session of Parliament being kept well away from Christmas. When Parliament is sitting, irrespective of what Government is in power, there is a certain amount of unrest. ’
