SESSION RESUMED
YESTERDAY’S PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. After a break of a fortnight, the Parliamentary session was resumed yesterday. Soon after the sitting commenced at 2.30 p.m., a protracted discussion on the control of paper for electioneering purposes was initiated by Mr Polson (Opposition, Stratford), who moved the adjournment of the House. The remainder of the afternoon and the evening sittings were occupied by discussion on the departmental estimates, and when the House rose at 10 p.m., the votes passed totalled £5,610,749. Two Bills, the Nurses and Midwives’ Registration Bill, and the Industiial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Bill, were introduced at 7.30. The member for Mid-Canterbury, formerly Mrs A. N. Grigg, and now the wife of Mr Polson, was in her usual place in the House, and took part in the debate on the Estimates. The presence of husband and wife as members, with Mr Polson acting as temporary Leader of the Opposition in the absence of Mr Holland, lent a piquancy to the proceedings.
