The parliamentary correspondents who have been boycotting Parliament for a week returned to their assignments today, after a compromise was worked out, calling for a month’s trial of new regulations to which the correspondents had objected.
The meeting was between the correspondents, newspaper editors, and Parliament’s House Committee. It was decided that, while the month’s trial of the new rules is being made, the joint committee will try to formulate new regulations.
The press correspondents had started their boycott of Parliament’s sessions when new rules were put into effect, forbidding them to mix with members of parliament in the building’s restaurant and lounges.
