asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, "Whether it is the intention of the Government to propose a small Vote in Supply, in order to give effect to the urgent recommendations of the Committee on Parliamentary Reporting, as to the desirableness of providing increased accommodation in the Reporters' Gallery of the House of Commons for the representatives of provincial newspapers?

MR. W. H. SMITH,
