§ VISCOUNT BURYasked Her Majesty's Government, Under whose authority would be placed the fish market which it was proposed to establish in the International Fisheries Exhibition; and whether the stalls, costermongers' carts, and other usual adjuncts of a fish market would be so regulated as to minimize the inconvenience which must be caused by the establishment of such a market in a West End thoroughfare? He put this Question out of no feeling of dislike to the Fisheries Exhibition, which ho thought would be extremely interesting and valuable, but merely with a view of relieving, as far as possible, the inhabitants of South Kensington living in the neighbourhood of the Exhibition from the discomforts incidental to a fish market. Unless the market was placed under careful regulation, there could be no doubt that great inconvenience and annoyance would be caused to those residing in the immediate neighbourhood in which it was to be established. He had always understood that when such a market was established it came under a general Act of Parliament, and he should be glad if the Government would tell him under what authority this market had been established and how it was proposed to regulate it?
THE EARL OF ROSEBERY, in reply, said, the market had been established under the authority of the Executive Committee, and stringent regulations had been drawn up with regard to the arrangements. The stalls and retail shops would be under those regulations; there were no costermongers' carts in connection with the market; the fish was to be brought in before half-past 9 in the morning, and all refuse was to be removed before 7 o'clock in the evening.
