COMING SESSION
PREMIER EXPECTS LIGHT
PROGRAMME. LABOUR CAUCUS TODAY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A general outline of the Government’s legislative programme for the session of Parliament which is to open toward the end of next month, is being given to members of the Parliamentary Labour Party at a caucus in Wellington today. Many other subjects of importance are also being discussed, and it is expected that it will be necessary for the caucus to be continued tomorrow. . The Prime Minister. Mr Savage, said last evening, that it was not proposed 1o table a heavy programme of legislation this session. Consolidating measures and amendments to existing statutes were likely to contitute the bulk of the legislation. However, one never knew what was going to turn up when Parliament was meeting . For some reason or other a lot of things requiring legislative action nearly always seemed to come to light once a session was under way. The Minister of Finance, Mr Nash, expected to return to New Zealand from England in July, and in that event it should be possible for him to present his Budget some time in August. It was impossible at this juncture to say how long the session was likely to last.
