THE COMPTROLLER OF THE HOUSEHOLD (The Earl of YARMOUTH)reported Her Majesty's Answer to the Address, as followeth:—
I have received your Address, praying that a Commission may be issued to inquire into the depressed condition of the Agricultural interest and the causes to which it is owing, whether those causes are of a temporary or permanent character, and how far they have been created or can be remedied by legislation, and I have given directions that a Commission shall issue for this purpose in accordance with your request.
