HC Deb 14 February 1840 vol 52 c250
Lord John Russell

then moved, That a congratulatory Message be sent to His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, to congratulate his Royal Highness upon his marriage, and to express the joy and satisfaction which this House feels upon seeing the ardent wishes of a faithful people fulfilled by her Majesty's wise and happy choice, and by her Majesty's union to a prince distinguished by a descent so illustrious, and by a character formed to support and adorn his exalted station.

Mr. W. Duncombe

said, that perhaps the noble Lord would allow him to take this opportunity of putting a question to him, upon a subject which had excited great interest both in and out of that House. He desired to be informed whether it was intended that the name of his Royal Highness Prince Albert should be inserted in the Liturgy.

Lord John Russell

had no intimation to make to the House upon the subject.

Motion carried.
