§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the School Board for London propose to discharge their obligations under their Provisional Confirmation Act of last year to re house persons of the labouring class displaced in the neighbourhood of Wood Street, Bethnal Green, by erecting dwellings in Parnell Road, Bow; and, if so, whether, as the proposed dwellings will be useless for the purpose of rehousing the persons so displaced, he will withhold his approval from the scheme.
§ * SIR M. WHITE RIDLEYThe scheme indicated by the hon. Member forms only a part of proposals which have been laid before me by the London School Board, and are now under my consideration. I cannot yet say whether or not I shall approve them. But as regards the rehousing of the actual persons displaced, I may say that the buildings in Wood Street were demolished more than a year ago.
