§ MR. HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the promised Government Bill for the creation of a Public Trustee and Executor will be introduced?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover SquareIt is true that the Government have promised to introduce such a Bill, and it is their intention to deal with the matter if possible. The Lord Chancellor and I have had the subject under consideration, and we find it involves more controversial matter than appeared at first. If it is a subject that can be satisfactorily adjusted, there will be some prospect of our being able to introduce such a Bill; but I am not able to make a more definite declaration at present.
