HC Deb 01 July 1858 vol 151 c756
LORD CLARENCE PAGET

said, he wished, on behalf of the shipping interest, which was greatly interested in the matter, to know why the Commission upon lighthouses has not, as yet, been appointed?

MR. HENLEY

said, that there was no intention of delaying the appointment of the Commission upon Lighthouses, but that, in consequence of the press of public business, it had been difficult to bestow that care upon the Commission which it deserved, but there would be no unnecessary delay in appointing it.
