§ MR. COWPER-TEMPLEasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce, in the next Session of Parliament, a Bill for the disafforestation of the New Forest?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, he could not undertake, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, to introduce a Bill of the nature indicated in the Question, although he admitted that at the present moment the greater part of the land composing the New Forest was of no greater advantage to the nation at large than it would be if submerged in the waters of the sea.
