§ MR. WARTONasked the Prime Minister, Whether, and when, he intends to submit to the House the Resolution on the subject of devolution—that is to say, on the subject of Grand Committees?
MR. GLADSTONE,in reply, said, he thought he had explained the intention of the Government with regard to the matter, at some length on a former occasion. What it was he would state very briefly—namely, that while this subject had in their eyes assumed an even increased importance from the experience of the present Session, they did not think the time or the circumstances convenient for making a proposal, and, consequently, they had decided to adjourn the consideration of the subject until next year.
