CIVIL LIST ACT 1837 - SECT 6



6. And whereas it was resolved by the Commons House of Parliament, on the
eighteenth day of February one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four, " that
it is the bounden duty of the responsible advisers of the Crown to recommend
to His Majesty for grants of pensions on the civil list such persons only as
have just claims on the royal beneficence, or who by their personal services
to the Crown, by the performance of duties to the public, or by their useful
discoveries in science and attainments in literature and the arts, have
merited the gracious consideration of their Sovereign and the gratitude of
their country": And whereas it is expedient that provision should be made by
law for carrying into full effect the said resolution, and for giving an
assurance to Parliament that the responsible advisers of the Crown have acted
in conformity therewith: That the pensions which may hereafter be charged upon
the civil list revenues shall be granted to such persons only as have just
claims on the royal beneficence, or who by their personal services to the
Crown, by the performance of duties to the public, or by their useful
discoveries in science and attainments in literature and the arts, have
merited the gracious consideration of their Sovereign and the gratitude of
their country; and that a list of all such pensions granted in each year
ending the [thirth-first day of March] shall be laid before Parliament within
thirty days after the said [thirty-first day of March] in each year, if
Parliament shall be then sitting, but if Parliament shall not be then sitting,
then within thirty days after the next meeting of Parliament.
