BUDGET DEBATE
CONTINUED IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. (By ■ Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Six more speakers took part in the financial debate in the House of Representatives yesterday. The evening discussion was interrupted to permit the introduction of the Land and Income Tax (Annual) Bill and the Land and Income Tax Amendment Bill, which give legislative effect to some of the taxation proposals' contained in the Budget and make some adjustments in the income tax law. Provision is made for the payment of income tax by instalments. The impossibility of forecasting the future of the session was mentioned by the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, when moving at the start of the sitting that select committees should be empowered to meet on non-sitting days. He said he thought it desirable to keep Parliament in session, even if its work were exhausted, in case any emergency should arise in the international situation. The House rose at 1.30 p.m. till 10.30 a.m. today.
