provisions nor by any of the bye-laws thereunder. Property
therefore in the occupation of the Crown or in that of persons using
it exclusively in and for the service of the Crown, that is to say, for
the purposes of the public government of the Country, is entirely
exempt from the provisions of the Act and bye-laws. The Council
is however advised that the provisions of the Act and bye-laws do
apply to property not exclusively in and for the service of the Crown
and to Crown property occupied under lease by private persons for
private purposes.
I am to add that the Council has noted that the question of how far
Crown property should be brought within the operation of the Act is one
for consideration in connection with any general revision of the provisions
of the Act which may be projected in future.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
G. L. GOMME,
The Town Clerk, Clerk to the Council.
Metropolitan Borough of Islington.
The following resolution was carried :—
" That in the opinion of this Conference it is undesirable that
any lands or buildings situate in the County of London should be
exempt from the provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891,
or from the sanitary provisions of the Metropolis Management Acts
or from the bye-laws made thereunder, and that a memorial be
addressed to His Majesty's Government urging them to introduce a
Bill to ensure that all lands and buildings owned by or on behalf of
the Crown or at present otherwise exempt are brought within the
provisions of the said Acts and bye-laws."
It was thereupon resolved that copies of the resolution be forwarded
to the London County Council and Metropolitan City and Borough
Councils, and that the Prime Minister be asked to receive a deputation to
present him with a copy of the resolution.
