HC Deb 20 April 1841 vol 57 c958
Sir R. Peel

, seeing the noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, in hit place, and observing that the noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, was absent, wished to ask whether it were intended, according to the promise of the noble Lord, to inform the House this evening what course the Government meant to take on Monday night next, in respect to the Parliamentary Voters' Bill, (Ireland.)

Lord Morpeth

said, that in the absence of his noble Friend (Lord John Russell) he was unable to give an answer as to the views of the Government, to which his noble Friend's statement had reference. He could only say, at present, that it was his intention to proceed with the Bill. Whatever modifications of particular clauses he might think it right to introduce, he should explain to the House tomorrow or Thursday.
