HL Deb 02 August 1831 vol 5 c584

Earl Grey presented a Message from his Majesty, and moved that it be read.

The Message was read by the Lord Chancellor, and was as follows:—

"His Majesty, taking into consideration, that since, a provision was made by Parliament for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and for her daughter the Princess Alexandrina Victoria of Kent, circumstances have arisen which make it proper that a more adequate provision should be made for her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and for the honourable support and education of her Royal daughter, the Princess Alexandrina Victoria, relies on the zeal and affection of the House of Lords for their concurrence and support in such measures as may be suitable to the occasion."

Earl Grey moved, that the Message be taken into consideration to-morrow.—Ordered
