HC Deb 11 November 1908 vol 196 cc278-9
MR. BROOKE (Tower Hamlets, Bow and Bromley)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he has received any communication from the Eastern Model Yacht Association, asking for his interest in the establishment of a model yacht lake for the East End of London in Hackney Marshes; and whether, seeing that such a lake would be one method of draining the marshes as well as of providing work for the unemployed during this winter, he will consider favourably this application.

* MR. JOHN BURNS

I have received a communication from the commodore of the association referred to, and am suggesting that he might place his proposals before the Central (Unemployed) Body.
