§ CAPTAIN NORTONI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether, as "Lewisham" does not appear in the alphabetical list of areas at present under the administration of Vestries known as "A Vestries" which are to be scheduled in the London Government Bill, and that "Lewisham" in fact is not one of the "A Vestries" but a district board, whether it is "Newington," the borough mentioned in the Report of the Royal Commission of 1896 as ripe for municipal government, with a population of over 120,000, and a rateable value of more than £500,000, which it is intended to include in the Bill and not "Lewisham"?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe parish of Lewisham is included among those parishes in the London Government Bill which will be constituted boroughs, while the district of Newington is not so included.
