§ MR. OSBORNEasked the hon. Member for Lancaster (Mr. Greene), in the absence of the officials connected with the Woods and Forests, what progress had been made in the building of the New Houses of Parliament?
MR. GREENEsaid, that the question would be best answered by looking at the Houses themselves. It was rather difficult to state what progress had been made in the several departments. He could not state when this House would occupy the New Houses of Parliament; he did not imagine it would be during the present Session. A certain delay had arisen from want of money for carrying on the works, which were not proceeded with so rapidly as the architect desired.
