§ MR. HIBBERTasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it is the intention of the Government to take any 1151 steps, in anticipation of the ensuing dissolution of Parliament, to provide for the filling up of the six vacancies created by the disfranchisement of Beverley, Bridgwater, Cashel, and Sligo, so as to complete the full number of the House of Commons?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERYes, Sir, the Government think it will be right that the filling up of these vacancies should be provided for before the time comes for a Dissolution of Parliament. But there is no hurry, as the necessity is not likely to occur immediately.
