MR. SULLIVANasked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the gas signal light on the Clock Tower of this House has been in use for three Sessions; and if it is a fact that the contractors have not yet been paid for it?
LORD HENRY LENNOXIt is true, Sir, that the gas light on the Clock Tower has been in use for three Sessions, and it is a fact that the Messrs. Wigram have not yet been paid for it; through a delay, which I regret, has risen from unavoidable circumstances. But the difficulties, I have reason to hope, will shortly be removed, and a payment will then be made.
