PARLIAMENT TO MEET
PROBABLY IN FEBRUARY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The House of Representatives is expected to meet about the third week in February for the first session of the Parliament elected at the general election in September. Its duration will probably be governed to a large extent by the length of the Address-in-Reply debate, for the programme of business is likely to be restricted to matters requiring immediate attention. The main session will take place later in the year. The opinion is stated to be held in political circles that Mr Nash will return to New Zealand for the main session in order to prepare and present the Budget, and support is given to this by the announcement that he was resuming his post in Washington, stating that he would be away from the Dominion for several months.
Should there be a conference of Empire Prime Ministers, Mr Fraser is certain to attend it, and if it is held in the early months of the New Year this may have some influence on the length of the coming session. The question of such a conference has been referred to on several occasions recently in the House of Commons, but as stated the other day by Mr Fraser no date has yet been fixed for one.
