HC Deb 04 February 1856 vol 140 cc151-2
MR. A. PELLATT

said, he wished to inquire whether it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to reintroduce the Bill brought in last Session by the right hon. Chief Commissioner of Poor Laws; or to bring in any bill during the present Session, having for its object the enlargement of the area of settlement and rating?

MR. BOUVERIE

replied, that it was not the intention of the Government to re-introduce the Bill brought in the Session before last by his right hon. Friend the present Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster; but it was their intention to ask for leave to bring in a Bill founded on the Report of a Committee which sat two years ago on the subject of Irish and Scotch removals. Her Majesty's Government had no intention to introduce a Bill having for its object the enlargement of the area settlement and rating.
