HC Deb 10 June 1873 vol 216 cc722-3
MR. W. H. SMITH

asked the President of the Local Government Board, If any estimate has been made of the increased charge upon the local rates which will result from the provisions of the 26th and the 28th sections of the Registration of Births and Deaths Bill; and what that charge will be?

MR. STANSFELD,

in reply, said, Section 26 would involve an additional charge of £9,877. Section 28 was for the provision of Register Offices, and he found that they were almost universally provided already. He might add that he had received deputations with reference to the money clauses of the Bill, and that he was not prepared at present to say by what figures he would abide. He should make a short statement on the subject before going into Committee on the Bill.
