HC Deb 15 February 1878 vol 237 cc1729-30
SIR EARDLEY WILMOT

asked the Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Whether it would not be possible to make arrangements for the construction of kiosques at suitable places in the metropolitan thoroughfares, for the sale of newspapers, as is done in Paris and other continental cities?

SIR JAMES M'GAREL-HOGG,

in reply, said, the thoroughfares of the metropolis were under the control of the Vestries and District Boards, and a Question of this sort would naturally come before them. He had no doubt the local authorities would be happy to give their best attention to any proposal for the comfort of the sellers and the convenience of the purchasers of newspapers.
