HC Deb 05 May 1876 vol 229 c182
SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, he would not ask the Question, of which he had given Notice for Monday next, respecting the Commission on Unreformed Municipal Corporations, as he had learnt privately from the Home Secretary, that it would be for the Commissioners themselves to determine what were and what were not municipal corporations.

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

said, that was so. If when the Commission had reported it was found that any other body was open to such accusations as had been brought by the hon. Member, he should be happy to allow the inquiry to be extended.
