HC Deb 25 February 1886 vol 302 cc1222-3
MR. ROBSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If it is the intention of the Government to introduce, at an early date, a Bill dealing with the acquisition of the London Water Companies, so long looked forward to by the people of London?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. CHILDERS)

I am fully alive to the great importance of this question; but I think the question of the acquisition of the London Water Companies' property cannot be dissociated from the larger question of the government of London, as to which I hope to be able to make a statement in a few weeks.
