§ SIR J. LUBBOCK (London University)I wish to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the greatly increased labour that will be imposed upon the Census Commission in consequence of the numerous changes of boundaries brought about by the operation of the Local Government Act, 1888, it is the intention of the Government to introduce a Census Bill during the present Session; and whether, in view of the strong representations made to the Government, it is intended to make any provision for a more frequent enumeration of the people.
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. C. T. RITCHIE,) Tower Hamlets, St. George'sThe Government cannot undertake to introduce the Bill in question in the present Session; but all questions as to alterations of boundaries are now being considered and dealt with. All the representations referred to by the hon. Baronet will receive the consideration of the Government.
