§ Mr. GILBERTasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the number of county councillors for the administrative county of London is double the number of members which at the passing of the Local Government Act, 1888, was returned to Parliament; and what steps-he proposes to take on the Clauses of the Representation of the People Bill to ensure that the basis shall in future be the Parliamentary division as rearranged by the Boundary Commissioners?
§ Sir G. CAVE:I have some doubt whether the suggestion is within the scope of the Bill, but on the merits of the 631W proposal I will communicate with my Noble Friend the President of the Local Government Board.
