HC Deb 29 April 1841 vol 57 cc1289-90

Mr. Hawes moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to take into consideration the promotion of the fine arts of this country, in connection with the rebuilding of the Houses of Parliament.

Mr. Hume

hoped, under the present circumstances in which the House was placed, and the hon. Member not having stated what his plan was, that he would postpone it for the present.

Mr. Ewart

saw no necessity to defer the; measure, as there was no opposition to it.

Lord John Russell

thought the question might as well be put then as at a future time.

Motion agreed to. Adjourned.
