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. BOUVERIEreplied, 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 152 having for its object the enlargement of the area settlement and rating.
