asked the Minister for Local Government and Public Health whether the Bill to provide for the establishment of a superannuation scheme for employees of local authorities, which was foreshadowed by his predecessor in office in the debates of the Local Government Bill in 1925, has yet been prepared, and when it may be expected to be introduced.

I am not in a position to indicate a date for the introduction of a measure for the purpose indicated by the Deputy. The matter is still receiving consideration.
