65. Mr. CHANCELLORasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the fact that in several of the London boroughs the result of the last Borough Council Election has been the return of members of a single party only, in many wards without a contest, and that a section of the voters in these boroughs are thus entirely excluded from participation in municipal affairs; and whether the Government will consider the proposal to introduce, or at least favour, next Session the Municipal Representation Bill, which confers optional powers upon the municipalities to adopt proportional representation as the method of election in their councils.
