HC Deb 09 April 1888 vol 324 c722

In reply to Mr. CHANNING (Northampton, E.),

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

said, there had been a very large demand for copies of this Bill, 17,000 copies having been sold at the published price, which, undoubtedly, was a high one. He had made arrangements that within a few days copies of a cheap edition would be on sale at 3d. each.
