HC Deb 11 December 1911 vol 32 c1887
Viscount WOLMER

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the remarks of the judge and foreman of the jury in the case of Arlidge v. Conolly and Lawrence upon the conduct of the Local Government Board and of the Camberwell Borough Council; whether he proposes to indemnify Mr. Arlidge for the expense to which he has been put by the action of the Camberwell Borough Council and the methods of the Local Government Board; and whether he will introduce legislation amending the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, to restore to individuals the right to appeal to a judicial tribunal in order that similar cases may not occur again?

Mr. BURNS

I must refer the Noble Lord to the reply which I gave on the 6th instant to a question on this subject put by the hon. Member for St. Pancras (West). I see no reason for adopting the suggestion in the last part of the Noble Lord's question.
