§ MR. WHITMORE (Chelsea)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he intends to introduce 1100 this session a Bill to assimilate the boundaries of Parliamentary Divisions and Metropolitan Municipal Boroughs within the county of London.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) Last year I introduced a Bill on this subject, having been assured that it would meet with no opposition. In point of fact, however, the Bill was opposed from both sides of the House, and I did not find it practicable to make progress with it. I am not prepared to deal with the matter in the present session, unless I am satisfied that the Bill would be treated as an unopposed measure.
