§ MR. MAPLE (Camberwell, Dulwich)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he has received a Memorial from the Chairman of the School Board for London, asking that facilities be granted for the passing of the London School Board Elections Bill, now down for Second Reading on Friday the 6th instant, in view of the triennial election which takes place next November; and if the Government are prepared to support the measure?
§ *THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, WestminsterI have received the Memorial 925 referred to; but I am not able to give any pledge to give facilities for the passing of the London School Board Elections Bill, a measure which, I understand, does away with the cumulative vote.
