HC Deb 01 July 1880 vol 253 cc1257-8
MR. COURTNEY

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When the Government propose to nominate the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the City Companies?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT,

in reply, said, he had been some time in communication with the gentlemen whom he intended to propose as Commissioners, and those communications had necessarily taken some time. He hoped, however, before many days were over to be in a position to nominate the Commission.
