§ MR. CLAUDE HAY () Shoreditch, HoxtonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the London and North Western Railway Company have carried out their undertaking given to the Home Secretary respecting the rebuilding of the workmen's dwellings at Broad Street, E.G., demolished by this Company; and will he state what steps he proposes to take 1624 in view of the alleged failure of the Company to carry out the obligations given by them to Parliament.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers Donglas.) I have made inquiries, and am informed that when the Railway Company took steps to carry out their indertaking to rebuild the tenements as they were before, they found that the plans would not comply with the provisions of the London Building Act now in force. New plans had, therefore, to be prepared, and some delay has consequently occurred. I am assured that the new plans have now been approved by the district surveyor under that Act, and that the Company will proceed with the matter with all due speed.
