§ LORD ROBERT GROSVENORsaid, he wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether it is the intention of the Government to take steps towards the appointment of Commissioners to inquire into the best method of removing the toll-bars now situated in the metropolis, pursuing the plan which was adopted in regard to those in the metropolis of Ireland and its vicinity.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, that no doubt it would be very desirable to accomplish the object which his noble Friend had in view, and that it should therefore receive the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. He was not, however, prepared at present to state the method by which it would be best attained, but the Government would place themselves in communication with the trustees of the metropolitan turnpikes to see what measures would be necessary.
