§ MR. H. L. W. LAWSON (Gloucester, Cirencester)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that his Predecessor declared it advisable that there should be a Parliamentary inquiry into the composition, constitution, and powers of the Thames Conservancy Board; whether he is aware that the London County Council is seeking representation on that Board under its General Powers Bill; and if he will move for a Select Committee to consider the whole question?
§ MR. MUNDELLAThere is a Bill at present before Parliament promoted by 57 the London County Council which proposes to give representation to the London County Council on the Conservancy Board. If that Bill is carried, I assume that the object will have boon attained. I shall be quite prepared to consider the question of the appointment of a Select Committee if necessary.
