HC Deb 08 February 1842 vol 60 cc147-8
Mr.Barclay

begged to inquire of the right hon. Baronet when he would bring forward his financial statement.

Sir R. Peel

said, it was his intention to develope his financial views with the least possible delay, but public convenience would compel him to postpone his statement for a short time. This postponement had no reference to personal convenience, but to the public interest alone. He should make his statement as soon as the immediate votes of supply were granted. After that step was taken, he should not lose a day. He was sure the hon. Gentleman would not wish him to make any partial disclosures.
