§ SIR JOHN DORINGTON (Gloucester, Tewkesbury)asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether he could lay upon the Table before the Easter Recess a Paper showing the probable number of members of the County Councils for each of the counties in England and Wales under the new Local Government Bill?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)No, Sir; it will be impossible for us to lay this on the Table before Easter. It is a matter which necessitates much investigation. I will, however, undertake to lay it on the Table before the Bill leaves Committee.
