§ MR. LABOUCHEREI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, in regard to the Civil List to be voted to His Majesty, it is intended to follow the precedent of 1837, and to appoint a Committee to inquire into the amount necessary to support the state and dignity of the Crown, before bringing in a Bill; and whether he will lay upon the Table a Return of the amounts appearing in the Estimates of the present financial year which are expended either in maintaining the state and dignity of the 710 Crown or in administering or maintaining the Crown Lands.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI propose to follow closely the precedent set in 1837. I am not quite sure I fully understand the last paragraph of the hon. Gentleman's question, If he will put it in another form on another day I will do my best to answer it.
