Ill
By-Laws—Houses Let in Lodgings.
Reference was made in the Annual Report last year to the Bylaws
which the London County Council were required to make under
section 94 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, as amended
and extended by section 26 of the Housing, Town Planning, &c.,
Act, 1919. By-laws were made by the London County Council in
1920 for confirmation by the Ministry of Health, but have not yet
been confirmed. The County Council, however, gave notice that
they were seeking powers under the Housing Bill (No. 2), 1923, to
amend section 26 of the 1919 Housing Act under which these bylaws
were required to be made, before completing the revision of the
draft by-laws.
The matter was referred by the Borough Council, on the recommendation
of the Housing Committee, to the Ministry of Health, the
Members of Parliament for the Borough, and the Metropolitan
Boroughs Standing Joint Committee, with a view to hastening the
issue of the by-laws.
