§ MR. ISAACS (Newington, Walworth)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as representing the Metropolitan Board of Works, Whether attention will be given to the insufficiency of the number of horses kept at the Central Fire Brigade Establishment at Southwark, and the other fire engine stations in the Metropolis; and, what steps are proposed to be taken by the Board of Works to remedy the deficiency?
§ MR. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)Arising out of this Question, I beg to ask, whether the Government will give facilities for the discussion of a Bill relating to the Metropolitan Board of Works' Fire Brigade Expenses, which has been promoted by the Metropolitan Board of Works, and which was introduced in 1884, in 1886, and also in the present Session?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)Since my hon. Friend gave Notice of his Question the First Commissioner of Works has undertaken to inquire into the alleged insufficiency of horses in the Fire Brigade. With regard to the other Question, I must ask for Notice.
