Sir FREDERICK BAN BURYasked the Home Secretary whether a Committee of the Privy Council has been appointed to consider the Report of the Departmental Committee on the Baronetage and to advise His Majesty in relation thereto; and, if not, whether he proposes to take any such action in the matter, and when?
§ Mr. GLADSTONEThere is no suggestion of submitting the Report to a Committee of the Privy Council. I have submitted the recommendations of the Committee to His Majesty, and hope to be able to make an announcement very shortly.
