HC Deb 03 July 1876 vol 230 cc852-3
MR. KAY-SHUTTLEWORTH

asked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, When the Returns, ordered on the 22nd of March 1870, of Expenditure for five years, and of the Parliamentary Expenses of the Board will be presented?

SIR JAMES HOGG

In reply to the Question of my hon. Friend, I have to state that the Return has entailed an enormous amount of labour on the officers of the Board, but is now, I am informed, completed so far as the great majority of the Bills are concerned, and I hope that it may be presented to the House within about a fortnight.
