§ MR. LEEMANasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government is prepared to recommend the adoption of the prayer of a Memorial presented to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for a grant to the family of the late Dr. Livingstone?
§ MR. DISRAELISir, Her Majesty has already granted a pension of £200 a-year to the children of Dr. Livingstone, and £200 is the sixth of the moderate—I might say, perhaps, too moderate—sum which Her Majesty is empowered under Act of Parliament to grant. There are other relations of Dr. Livingstone besides his children. Their claims will be considered by Her Majesty's Government, and, if they think they ought to be provided for, we shall not hesitate to ask the House to grant such a Vote as would be proper under the circumstances.
