SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAG-GREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in case of his sanctioning the erection of the electric light station in Bethnal Green on the site proposed in the scheme of the local borough council, he will make provision for the housing in the same neighbourhood of about 200 silk weavers, who would be displaced thereby, and for the erection of their looms.
MR. LONGI have within the last day or two received representations from some of the silk weavers on this subject, and I am in communication with the borough council with regard to it.
