§ MR. BERESFORD HOPEsaid, he would beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether he can inform the House of the measures which he proposes to adopt to secure the continued enjoyment of Epping Forest to the public?
MR. GLADSTONEsaid, in reply, that the pledge given by the Government a short time ago had not been neglected. Measures were in progress, and there was every reason to hope that they would lead to a satisfactory settlement; but the communications had not yet reached the stage at which it would be desirable to make them public.
