§ MR. WARTONasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring in any Bill for the purpose of filling the Six Seats now vacant in this House; and, if so, when?
MR. GLADSTONEThis Question has not been under the consideration of the Government since they came into Office; but I venture to inform the hon. Gentleman that it is extremely unlikely we shall make any proposal on the subject during the present Session.
