HC Deb 20 March 1891 vol 351 c1531
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to proceed with the draft Bill prepared by the Departmental Committee appointed in 1889 on the subject of the Investment of Trust Funds in Colonial Inscribed Stock?

*THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

My hon. Friend knows the amount of legislation with which the Government have to contend during the present Session. I do not exclude the idea of proceeding with a Bill on the subject of the Investment of Trust Funds in Colonial Stock, but I am unable to give any definite pledge upon the subject.
