§ MR. R. LONGsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, What proportion of the Fortifications Loan the Government proposes to borrow during the ensuing financial year?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONsaid, it was impossible to answer that question at present. Whenever the plans and arrangements of the Government were matured they would, of course, be communicated to the House.
