§ Mr. GILBERTasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he has considered the desirability of having the electoral areas for the London County Council the same as the new electoral areas for London under the Representation of the People Bill; and whether, if a Clause cannot be introduced into this Bill in order to give effect to this proposal, he will consider the urgency of at once introducing a short Bill in order to 1129W make all electoral areas in London for local government purposes the same as the new Parliamentary areas?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERI have been in communication with the London County Council on this subject, and I am at present considering what is the best means of giving effect to the proposal referred to in the question.
