HC Deb 04 June 1863 vol 171 cc322-3
MR. GREGORY

said, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether a detailed statement of the expense to be incurred in altering, repairing, completing and rendering beautiful the International Exhibition Building will be printed and laid before the House, previous to a Vote of £485,000 being taken as a first expense connected with the purchase of that Building?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

Sir, there is no objection to lay before the House details of the sum named. With regard to the other points, it will be my duty to explain them when I propose the Vote.

MR. GREGORY

Shall we have those details presented before the explanation?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

They will be laid on the table in the course of tomorrow.
