§ MR. PARRYsaid, he wished to ask the First Commissioner of Works, Whether it be the intention of the Government to take any steps, during the present Session of Parliament, to carry out the recommendations in the Report of the Commismissioners appointed in November 1866, to inquire into the question of the accommodation of Public Departments?
§ LORD JOHN MANNERSsaid, in reply, that it was not the intention of the Government to take any steps during the remainder of the Session to carry out the recommendations of the Commission appointed to inquire in 1866 into the subject of the accommodation of Public Departments. It was, however, intended to give at the proper time the usual notices for the acquisition of property in order that there might be legislation in the ensuing Session.
