§ SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, before proceeding with the London Elections Bill, he will lay before the House a list of the Metropolitan boroughs affected, showing the population and the number of electors by which each Parliamentary division will be either increased or diminished owing to the operation of the Bill.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol S.I should be willing to obtain a Return on this subject if the right hon. Baronet will move for it. I will communicate with him as to the form of the Return.
§ MR. JOHN ELLISIs there any precedent for altering Parliamentary divisions in this way?
§ MR. WALTER LONGI am afraid I cannot answer that.
