HC Deb 19 February 1849 vol 102 cc874-5
MR. GREENE

wished to correct an error into which he had fallen, in reply to the question of the hon. Member for Middlesex (Mr. Osborne), respecting the New Houses of Parliament. He (Mr. Greene) had stated, that some additional expenses had been incurred at the instance of the Woods and Forests; and that he had seen a return prepared by Mr. Barry, at the request of the Commissioners for building the New Houses of Parliament, in order that they might be inserted in it. He (Mr. Greene) had since been informed by the noble Earl the Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests that no such additional expense had been contracted for or paid for by that department.
