§ MR. WHALLEYsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce this Session any Bill for the further continuance of Turnpike Trusts, of which the original 834 Acts have expired; and, if so, whether it is their intention to include therein, or otherwise to submit for consideration, any plan tending to the abolition of Turnpike Trusts; and at what period of the Session any such Bills may be expected to be introduced?
§ MR. GATHORNE HARDY, in reply, said, a Bill on the subject was in course of preparation; but he did not think it would be wise to submit it to the House without consulting with those who had given much attention to it, nor did he think it would be desirable to bring forward a question likely to give rise to so much discussion at a late period of the Session.
