§ MR. CHANNING (Northampton, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, having regard to the difficulty of providing for an accurate revision of the County Electors' Lists, and to the probable addition to county expenditure and possible breakdown in the proceedings for revising the Lists before November 1st, he will consider the 1221 advisability of postponing the County-Council elections to 1st January, 1892?
§ *THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE,) Tower Hamlets, St. George'sWhen I intimated to the House my intention of withdrawing the Registration Acceleration Bill I stated that I would consider what other proposal could be made to meet the difficulties in connection with the preparation of the Register. I have given the matter my consideration, with the result that I have had a Bill drawn postponing the elections for County Councils to January 15.
§ MR. J. STUART (Shoreditch, Hoxton)Will that refer also to the election of the London County Council?
§ MR. RITCHIEYes.
