MR. BAILLIEsaid, that the noble Lord at the head of the Government had the other night stated, that it was not his intention to take any steps for prohibiting the exportation of corn from this country; but since the noble Lord made that statement corn had risen in price nearly 30s. per quarter, and there was all probability of a further rise taking place. He now wished to ask, whether the Government had any intention of prohibiting the use of grain in distilleries for a limited period?
LORD J. RUSSELLI am not prepared to answer the hon. Member's question with regard to the use of grain in dis- 599 tilleries; I will, however, state, that on an early day I shall propose a continuance of the suspension of the corn law for three months.
