§ MR. LAYARDSir, it will doubtless be in the recollection of hon. Members, that I gave notice of my intention to propose certain Resolutions to this House, and I wish, for the convenience of the House and of the Government, to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will give me any day for bringing forward my Resolutions. If the noble Lord does not give me a day, I must propose them on going into Committee of Supply. I also wish to know when the Returns for which I moved some time since will be laid upon the table.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONI really, Sir, cannot undertake to find the hon. Gentleman a day; he must find one for himself.
§ MR. LAYARDThen, I shall bring the Resolutions forward on an early day, on the Motion for going into Committee of Supply.
§ MR. FREDERICK PEELsaid, he begged to inform the hon. Gentleman that, as the Returns for which he had moved were very voluminous, their preparation would necessarily occupy a considerable time, but he would take care that they were produced without any unnecessary delay.
