§ MR. HANBURYI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when he expects to be able to state to the House the long-promised proposals of the Treasury for the extinction of the remainder of the hereditary pensions, including some of the most contested of them; and whether, meanwhile, these all alike continue to be paid in full?
§ MR. GOSCHENWith regard to the proposals that were promised by the Treasury for the extinction of the remainder of the hereditary pensions, it is necessary that every case should be gone into separately. I am so much engaged at present that I am unable to give that minute attention to the subject which I desire that it should have. The pensions will be paid, as the Government have no option in the matter.
