§ MR. THORNTON (Clapham)To ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will grant a Return showing the expenses incurred by the London County Council in promoting and opposing Bills in Parliament during the last six years, stating in each case the title of the Bill and whether or not it became law.
(Answered by Air. John Burns.) I would draw the hon. Member's attention to a Return made to an Order of the House of Lords in 1903 (No. 214), which gives particulars of the expenses incurred by the London County Council in promoting and opposing Bills in Parliament in each session up to and including that for the year 1902. This return will perhaps be sufficient for his purpose.
