§ MR. FRANCIS BUXTONasked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether any circular has recently been issued to town councils or other local authorities, calling attention to the provisions of the Artizans' and Labourers' Dwellings Improvement Acts, and urging the destruction, when necessary, of unsanitary dwellings; whether he can inform the House generally of the replies received to this circular; and, whether he will lay the circular itself upon the Table of the House?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKE, in reply, said, that the Local Government Board, on the 21st of July last, addressed a letter to the urban sanitary authorities calling attention to the Acts mentioned, but had not received any communication from local authorities showing that it was their intention to destroy unsanitary dwellings. He was quite willing to lay a copy of the Circular upon the Table.
