HC Deb 09 May 1820 vol 1 cc241-2
Lord A. Hamilton

rose to ask a question relative to the provision which ought to be made for the support of her majesty. On a former occasion he had stated his intention of making some observations on this subject. He now wished to know whether it was intended to propose any specific provision for her majesty; and, if so, when that provision would be proposed. He was surprised that no notice had been taken of that illustrious personage, by his majesty's ministers, in the progress of the resolutions respecting the civil list.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer

said, the only answer he could give the noble lord was, that, undoubtedly it would become necessary to propose to parliament to make a provision for the queen, as well as for several other branches of the royal family. The subject would soon be brought under the consideration of parliament.
