§ MR. FERRANDinquired, Whether the Government intended, during the present 601 Session, to introduce any measure for the protection of life and property from unsecure and dangerous waterworks?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYreplied, that the draft of a Bill had been prepared containing clauses, which, if expedient, might be inserted in all Private Bills relating to the construction of reservoirs. This was a matter rather within the province of the Board of Trade, and he had accordingly referred the matter to his right hon. Friend, and the Bill was at present under his consideration.
