HC Deb 14 June 1847 vol 93 c471
LORD M. HILL

appeared at the bar and stated, that in compliance with the desire of the House he had that day waited upon Her Majesty, in order to present the Address which the House had voted to Her Majesty on the subject of Colonisation; to which the Queen had been pleased to return the following most gracious Answer:— I have taken into My consideration the Address of My faithful Commons. I am deeply sensible of the advantage which may be derived from the adoption of further measures for the promotion of Colonisation, and I will direct such inquiries to be made as may enable Parliament to adopt a course free from those evils which any precipitate legislation on this subject might cause both to the emigrants and to the colonies. Her Majesty's Answer was ordered to be entered in the Journals.
