§ MR. E. POWER (Waterford)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he can state why the letters from Messrs. De la Rue, which he promised to lay upon the Table of the House, have not yet been so laid; and, whether they will be laid upon the Table, and circulated to Members of the House before the Revenue Estimates are discussed in Committee?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)The letters have not yet been laid, because I understood there was some hesitation on Messrs. De la Rue's part as to their publication, and I waited until the matter was cleared up before taking further steps; but they shall be moved for to-day.
