This Bill was introduced into the House of Commons on the 5th
March, 1908, by Mr. Dickinson and was read a first time.
It is a Private Member's Bill and appears to be very questionable
whether it will become law without the co-operation of the Government
for the time being. From March, 1908, to July, 1909, the Bill was
tabled over 100 occasions without being read a second time.*
CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE
ACTS, 1890-1.*
Cap. 8, Sect. 26 (2.)

Rothbury Mansions, Bow—Regranting Certificate.
In 1908 Rothbury Buildings, Bow, were found to be in a most
insanitary condition; there was also no proper and sufficient supply of
water‡ ith no adequate washing accommodation. The Public Health
and Housing Committee directed that the Board of Inland Revenue be
informed of the facts and that exemption under the Acts should no longer
exist. The Board of Inland Revenue thereupon treated the certificate
as cancelled.
Certificates, for exemption under the Customs and Inland Revenue
Acts, 1890-1, and the Revenue Act, 1903, were regranted in respect of
Tenements, Nos. 1 to 6 (Block A), and Tenements 7 to 12 (Block B),
Rothbury Mansions, Rothbury Road, Bow. A large amount of work had
been executed by the owner in order to comply with the aforementioned
Acts.
* For exemption of lodging-houses for the working classes from Inhabited House
Duty under the Housing Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, see page 211.
† Now called Rothbury Mansions.
‡ London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1907. (Section 78.)
