South Africa's new Parliament, with Dr Daniel Malan's re-elected Nationalists now exercising a record majority of 20 seats, assembles to- morrow to a first session which is expected to renew old controversies over the Union's perennial colour problem.

Priority on the Government's legislative programme must be given to the national Budget, normally presented in April and postponed for Assembly elections this year.

-But unless there is any radical change in policy or plan, the Malan Gov- ernment is believed to be determined to re-introduce at the earliest opportunity its Coloured Voters Bill designed to transfer non-African coloured voters from the common electoral roll to a separate register.
