§ MR. NEWDEGATEasked, When the second Report of the Cattle Plague Commission would be in the hands of Members? It was very desirable that hon. Gentlemen should have an opportunity of reading it before the discussion on the subject which was appointed to take place on Monday next.
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, that a copy of that Report had been laid before Her Majesty, having been received by him only the day before yesterday. He had received a letter from the secretary to the Commission, stating that the Appendix, containing the opinions referred to in the Report, was not yet ready, but that it would he in a very few days. He had requested the secretary to send the Appendix without delay; but if that were not done, perhaps it might be convenient to place the Report itself in the hands of Members without waiting for the Appendix.
§ MR. WALPOLEIs my right hon. Friend aware that the first Report of the Commission is not yet in the hands of Members?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYI presented the first Report on the first day of the Session, but I am not responsible for its circulation.
§ SIR GEORGE GREYThat question should be addressed to the right hon. Gentleman in the Chair. Of course, I do not mean that the right hon. Gentleman is personally responsible for its circulation, but some officer of the House under the right hon. Gentleman's direction must be so.
§ Motion agreed to:—House at rising to adjourn till Monday next.
