§ MR. ASCROFTI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the great inconvenience which Members of this House suffer in consequence of the proofs of Questions put by them to Members of the Government not containing the answers given to such Questions; and whether he will inquire into the matter with a view to instructions being given to the Editor of the "Debates" to supply the answers?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI believe some occasional defects have occurred, and that my honourable Friend has been a victim; but the system, I am told, is now in smooth working, and I hope such mistakes will not again occur.
