HC Deb 24 April 1888 vol 325 cc319-20
MR. O. V. MORGAN (Battersea)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, What reason prevailed last year to de- part from the arrangements proposed in 1884 to transfer to the Metropolitan Board with the Parks handed over last year the incomes of the Battersea Estate, £7,500, and the Westminster. Bridge, £5,400.

SIR HERBERT MAX WELL (A LORD of the TREASURY) (Wigton) (who replied) said

I am afraid I do not quite understand the Question of the hon. Member. The transfer to the Metropolitan Board has been made on the terms laid down by the Act of last Session, which was considered and decided by a Select Committee of this House, whose decisions were accepted by Government.
