HC Deb 23 July 1897 vol 51 c889
COLONEL WELBY (Taunton)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he is aware that the Vestry of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster, have resolved to replace the macadam in Queen Anne's Gate with asphalte, contrary to the expressed wishes of die majority of ratepayers in that street, who object to the change on the grounds of insanitation and noise; and whether he can bring any administrative influence to bear on the Vestry to regard the wishes of the ratepayers?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. HENRY CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

I replied to a precisely similar Question only on Tuesday last with regard to Victoria Street, and there is nothing, I fear, that I can add to what I said then.
