HC Deb 08 January 1894 vol 20 c1011
MR. R. G. WEBSTER (St. Pancras, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps have been taken towards carrying out the recommendations of the arbitrator who was appointed by the Home Office respecting the Somers Town Insanitary Areas in East St. Pancras?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Asquith,) Fife, E.

As regards the only part of the scheme which is to be dealt with by the Vestry alone under the provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, I am informed by the clerk to the Vestry that a building surveyor was appointed some months ago to inspect every one of the houses, and his Report is being printed and will soon be before the Vestry.
