§ Resolutions [April 9] reported.
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI wish, in order to prevent any misunderstanding upon the subject, to explain an observation made last night in reference to Claremont House. Claremont will not by the effect of the proposed Resolutions be added to the list of the Royal Palaces, as that would entail a large expenditure and the necessity for an annual Vote to meet that expenditure; whereas no such Vote is contemplated. The effect of the clauses will simply be to place Claremont at the disposal of her Majesty, to make whatever use of it She may think fit, either during her lifetime or during such shorter period as She may think proper.
§ Resolutions agreed to.
