PM No. 93/1966

The Prime Minister is continuing to make satisfactory progress.

Hoowever, as viral pleurisy normally takes five to seven days to run its course, Mr. Holt will have to remain in bed for a day or two yet. He is hopeful that he will be back in Parliament during the week out this will depend on his further progress. 

His doctor gave him a thorough check-up today and confirmed that there were no complications.

The Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Calwell rang the Lodge today to enquire about Mr. Holt's health and to wish him well.
