§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, When it is intended to bring in a Bill throwing the cost of the maintenance of certain Parks in the Metropolis upon its inhabitants?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)If the hon. Member would be so good as to read the Order Book of the House, he would not, I think, be in doubt as to the intention of the Government in this matter. A Bill transferring to the Metropolitan Board of Works the maintenance of certain Parks has already been read a first time, and is down for second reading to-night.
