§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the provisions of the Act 3 & 4 Will. IV., c. 80, s. 5, whereby he is required in each year to lay before Parliament an abstract of the statements relating to Turnpike Trusts, which, by the said Act, are to be annually rendered to him, together with his observations thereon, How it happens that no such abstract nor observations have been laid before Parliament in respect of Turnpike Trusts for the past year of 1866, nor for the preceding year 1865?
§ MR. GATHORNE HARDYsaid, in reply, that the Return for the year 1865 would be laid on the table of the House in the course of a few days; but the Return for 1866 had not yet been received at the Home Office.
