§ THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURYsaid, he wished to ask a Question of the First Lord of the Treasury. Some short time ago an Act was passed empowering the Treasury 2070 to advance monies to companies formed for improving the dwellings of the working classes in towns and other populous places; and in that Act it was provided that the Treasurer should draw up regulations as to the terms upon which money should be advanced. A great number of persons were impatient to commence operations, so soon as the regulations were made known; and he should therefore be glad to hear what progress had been made?
§ THE EARL OF DERBYwas happy to say that the regulations had been prepared, and he expected to be able to lay them upon the table that evening.
