The Vice-Chamberlain of the Household acquainted the House that he had a Message from Her Majesty the Queen to this House, signed by Her Majesty’s own hand.
The Message was presented to the House, and read to the House by the Speaker, as follows:
Her Majesty requests that consideration should be given by the House of Commons to the provision made by Parliament for the financial support of Her Majesty and other members of the Royal Household, and to allowing for the continuation of support in the reigns of Her successors.
Her Majesty desires that the hereditary revenues of the Crown, for any period for which support is provided to any of Her successors, should be at the disposal of the House of Commons.
In commending these matters to Her faithful Commons, Her Majesty relies on their attachment to Her person and family to adopt such measures as may be suitable for the occasion.
