HC Deb 18 February 1895 vol 30 c952
COLONEL HUGHES (Woolwich)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether the London vestries can legally establish a Labour Exchange out of the moneys raised by them in pursuance of the Metropolitan Management Act, 1855?

MR. SHAW-LEFEVRE

The Local Government Board have no jurisdiction with regard to the expenditure of the rates raised by London Vestries. As a matter of fact, a number of Vestries have established Labour Exchanges.
