§ Mr. THORNEI desire to make an apology to the Minister of Labour. At Question Time yesterday I put a supplementary question to the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, in which I stated that I was under the impression that, when a deputation on Monday waited upon the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Health, the Minister of Health said he would make a statement with regard to necessitous areas some time in the latter part of April. I have been assured by all my colleagues who attended the deputation with me that I was wrong, and, if that is so, I apologise.
