§ Mr. GREENEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasury what is the cause of the delay in appointing the Committee on Public Petitions; and if he can say when the appointment will be made?
§ Mr. WEDGWOOD BENN (for Master of Elibank)The Public Petitions that have so far been presented are extremely few, and there has therefore been no work for the Committee to do; but it will be set up at once.
