§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTON (Tower Hamlets, Poplar)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether his attention has been called to a Resolution of St. James's Vestry, determining to expend the rates of that parish in publishing remarks on the administration and expenditure of the London School Board; and, whether any statutory authority exists in the Metropolis Local Management Act for such expenditure of rates by a Vestry?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)In answer to the hon. Member's Question, I beg to say that my attention has been called to the Resolution in question; and that, so far as I am at present aware, there does not exist in the Metropolis Local Management Act statutory authority for such an expenditure of the rates.
