§ MR. CAVENDISH BENTINCKsaid, he wished to ask Her Majesty's Government, Whether the Chapter-house of Westminster Abbey is public property; if so, whether Her Majesty's Government are about to restore it to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and under what conditions?
MR. PEELsaid, there was no doubt that the Chapter-house was public property, but no resolution had been come to by the Government on the subject, nor, as far as he knew, had any plan been submitted by the Dean and Chapter upon which action could be taken.
