Friday session on two Bills in Parliament
The House will sit Friday to consider the Government’s Restrictive Trade Practices and Road Grants Bills. A Government spokesman said the Senate could also sit Friday or early next week to consider the Bills. Cabinet aims to pass the trade practices bill a month earlier, with consumer protection clauses. The Road Grants Bill would follow after opposition amendments, and Senate action could jeopardize interim grants over 10 million dollars and the three year program worth 1,100 million. The spokesman noted the Trades Practices Bill targets restraints on trade to curb inflation.
