P. M. No. 58/ 1966
CONDITION ' OF MR. CAWELL
The Prime Minister, Mr. Holt, said this morning
that he had been relieved to find that Mr. Calwell's injuries,
while no doubt painful, were of a comparatively minor nature.
He had also been pleased to learn that the Leader of the
Opposition would be well enough to be discharged from hospital
this afternoon. M= Calwell, who is in Melbourne, has asked
whether, in the circumstances a VIP aircraft might be made
available to take Mr. Calwell home.
The ' overnment readily agreed to this request and
the necessary arrangements have been made. An RAAF Convair
is due to leave Sydney with Mr. Calwell at 4.50 this afternoon.
On arrival at his office in Parliament House this
morning, Mr. Holt's first action was to seek information from
the Royal North Shore Hospital on Mr. Calwell's condition.
