§ Mr. J. DAVISONasked the Minister of Health whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill giving superannuation to local government officials; whether he is aware of the many promises made to introduce such a Bill; and if he can state a date for its introduction?
§ Sir A. MONDI fear I can only repeat the answer that had to be given to similar questions last year, namely, that the Government regret that they cannot proceed with the matter at the present time in view of the heavy charges which the scheme would impose upon the rates.
