§ MR. WHITWELLasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether the Report of the Commission for inquiring into Unreformed Municipal Corporations is likely soon to be laid upon the Table of the House?
MR. ASSHETON CROSS, in reply, said, the Report had unfortunately been delayed by the serious illness of the Chairman of the Commission (Mr. Stephen Cave). His right hon. Friend, however, had now returned to England, and, no doubt, the matter would be proceeded with.
