HC Deb 04 December 1857 vol 148 c137
MR. KNATCHBULL-HUGESSEN

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it is the intention of the Government to reintroduce the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill of last Session during the present Session? And also whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Bill for the amendment to the Law relating to the management of Highways during the present Session?

MR. MASSEY

in reply said, that a Bill would probably be introduced in the other House of Parliament relative to the Ecclesiastical Commission, but that he could not undertake to say whether its provisions would be precisely similar to those of the Bill of last Session. With regard to the management of highways, it was his intention to introduce a Bill on that subject after the Christmas recess.
