§ MR. RAIKESasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, What steps, if any, he proposes to take to bring under the consideration of the House those recommendations of the Select Committee on Public Business which have not as yet been submitted to its judgment; and, whether in case he does not think it desirable to take any further steps in this matter, he will object to the appointment of a Select Committee to reconsider the Rules of the House regarding the transaction of Public Business?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, at that period of the Session, and with the state of feeling on the subject which existed in the House, the Government would not be prepared to take that course.
