§ MR. HUTTsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary for the Home Department, whether it be the intention of the Government to introduce, during the present Session, any measure for the permanent settlement of Church Leases, in accordance with the promise given last year by the late Administration.
§ MR. WALPOLEsaid, that the Church Leases Bill introduced last year was referred to a Select Committee, and after examination by that tribunal, was passed with Amendments through that House, and was prevented being passed into law only by the lateness of the Session. Under those circumstances, he thought it advisable that the Bill should be brought this Session into the other House of Parliament, the House of Commons having already assented to its principle, with a view to its passing in the present year.
