HC Deb 08 May 1865 vol 178 cc1709-10

Resolutions [May 5] reported.

SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTE

said, he believed this Resolution related to the renewal of £1,000,000 Exchequer Bonds. They had been lately doing a good deal in the way of reducing the National Debt, and he trusted that they were not going to renew these bonds again.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he could not give a positive answer, as everything would depend upon the money market and the state of the finances of the country.

Resolutions agreed to.

Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. DODSON, Mr. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. PEEL.
