HC Deb 28 January 1812 vol 21 c381
Mr. Bankes

said he should not delay the House with any observations on his present motion, which he understood was not likely to meet with opposition from any part of the House. The Bill now in existence would expire on the 5th of February. It would ill become him to say that he did not intend this as a permanent measure, and it would also ill become the House after what had already passed. He should, therefore, without further preface, move for leave to bring in a Bill to prohibit the granting of Offices in Reversion, or for joint lives, with benefit of survivorship.—Leave was accordingly given.
