§ MR. WARMINGTON (Monmouth, W.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government intend to re-introduce a Bill for the appointment of an Official or Public Trustee; and whether the Government will move for the appointment of a Select Committee to which can be referred the Bill of the Government when introduced, and also the Bills introduced by private Members for the same or similar purposes?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH, Strand, Westminster)The Government intend to re-introduce the Bill for the appointment of a Public Trustee. The Bill will be introduced by the Lord Chancellor in another place; and when it comes down to this House the Government will decide how to proceed with it, endeavouring to ascertain the general sense of the House on the question.
