§ LORD JOHN MANNERSasked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Whether the attention of the Board had been drawn to the necessity for providing dwelling-houses for the industrial classes in place of those which it would be found necessary to destroy in order to carry out the street improvements projected by the Board?
COLONEL HOGGsaid, he was glad to be able to state, in reply to the noble Lord, that the Board of Works were considering the question, and had referred it to the Parliamentary Committee of the Board. The Board's solicitor had been instructed to draft a clause to carry out what he admitted was a most important object.
