§ Mr. HOLTasked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet made any Order for the first election of members of 588W the Port of London Authority, and, if not, when such Order is likely to be made; and whether the Regulations under which this election will be held will be laid before this House?
Mr. BUXTONThe Board of Trade made Regulations, dated 22nd December, 1911, with respect to the formation and revision of the register for the first election of elected members of the Port Authority. These Regulations are printed as Statutory Rules and Orders, and placed on sale, but it was not considered necessary to lay these on the Table of the House. Further Regulations are being prepared with reference to the method of election, and will, I anticipate, be promulgated in the same manner before the end of the year. The election will take place in March, 1913.
