Under the Common Lodging Houses Acts, 1853-5, the London County Council has control overall the
Common Lodging Houses situated within the Metropolis—a duty which the newly-formed City and Borough
Councils might, with advantage, have had transferred to them when the London Government Bill, 1890, was
brought in. All Common Lodging Houses must be licensed by the London County Council annually (vide
London County Council General Powers Act, 11)02, Part IX., Section 46).
