§ MR. WIGGIN (Staffordshire, Handsworth)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he can state when the Report of the Royal Commission on Gold and Silver will be presented to Parliament?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)The Government have no cognizance of the proceedings of Royal Commissions, and are, therefore, unable to answer questions in regard to the progress made by them; but I have heard unofficially that the Members of this Commission are now engaged in the discussion of their Report, and, I therefore, presume it may be in the hands of the House before many weeks.
