§ MR. A. ALLEN (Christchurch)To ask the Secretary of State for War when it is expected that the Army Council will be in a position to give their decision with regard to the new sewerage scheme of the borough of Christchurch; and whether in view of the fact that a representative of the Royal Engineers inspected the plans so long ago as 21st September, he will undertake to expedite the matter, and so put an end to the inconvenience which the delay is causing.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The decision of the Army Council was communicated to the town clerk on the 12th instant.
