§ MR. JAMES STUART (Shoreditch, Hoxton)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether Her Majesty's 1506 Government is prepared, during the present Session, to bring in and proceed with a measure for the better equalisation of rates in the Metropolis, in accordance with the Resolution lately passed by this House?
§ MR. W. E. GLADSTONEThe subject is under what I may call, not the passive, but the active consideration, of the Government, and we hope to produce shortly a measure for giving effect to the Resolution of the House.
