§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, What steps have been taken by the Commissioners of Sewers under "The Artizans' and Labourers' Dwellings Act, 1882," towards ensuring the building of suitable accommodation on the ground cleared under the Act of 1875?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTSir, the delay in this matter has been mainly due to the fact that the Commissioners 296 of Sewers, on the 15th December last, submitted a scheme which was not found to be entirely satisfactory, and the Home Office could not sanction it. On the 28th of February they submitted a second scheme. That being also unsatisfactory, was declined; and on the 10th of April a third scheme was submitted, which it was found possible to adopt, and which had been approved of.
§ SIR R. ASSHETON CROSSThen there will be no further delay?
§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTNo doubt, Sir, the matter will be gone on with.
