HC Deb 08 March 1867 vol 185 c1548
MR. SERJEANT GASELEE

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will bring in a separate Bill to disfranchise the Boroughs of Lancaster, Reigate, Totnes, and Yarmouth, and how he proposes to deal with the present Members of those Boroughs who still retain their Seats in this House?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

There is, Sir, no intention to bring in a separate Bill for the object to which the hon. and learned Gentleman refers. With regard to the present Members for the Borough of Yarmouth, I am very glad they have seats in this House, because I think they are very useful Members of the House of Commons.

MR. SERJEANT GASELEE

I would remind the right hon. Gentleman that there is another Member of the House besides the two Members for the Borough of Yarmouth—["Order, order!"]
