HC Deb 25 April 1872 vol 210 c1812
MR. DODSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade, What steps Her Majesty's Government propose to take to give effect to the Resolution of the House of March 22, in reference to Private Legislation?

MR. CHICHESTER FORTESCUE

, in reply, said, that the Government had not yet been able to pursue their inquiry into the subject to such a point as to enable him to make any statement to the House upon the subject. It was, however, being thoroughly considered, and he hoped that before the Session concluded, the Government might be able to submit a proposal on the subject to the House.
