§ In reply to a question from Mr. Cutlar Ferguson,
§ Lord Althorpsaid, that he expected a deputation of the principal manufacturers and others concerned in the cotton trade, from Lancashire, to-morrow, and that, after he had fully discussed the matter with them, he should be prepared to answer the hon. Member's question.
Mr. Herriessuggested to the noble Lord, that it would be proper to afford the House an early opportunity of discussing the Budget, as it was intended to be ultimately settled, in order to appease the public: anxiety on the subject, and also to afford the House an opportunity of discussing the alterations which it was intended should be made in the propositions originally brought forward.
