COMMON LODGING HOUSES.
The Common Lodging Houses Acts (14 and 15 Vict., c. 28, and 16 and 17
Vict., c. 41) were repealed by the Public Health Act, 1875, except so far as
relates to the Metropolitan Police District, and they are still in force in that
District, where they are administered by the London County Council. The
Metropolitan Police District, as provided by 10 Geo. 4, c. 44, s.s. 4, 34, and
extended by Orders in Council under 2 and 3 Vict., c. 47, s. 2, now includes
the County of London exclusive of the City and its Liberties, the County of
Middlesex, the County Boroughs of Croydon and West Ham, and certain
parishes and places in the Counties of Surrey, Kent, Herts and Essex.
In June last, as the Regulations for Common Lodging Houses then in
force in the City were made no less than forty years ago, your Medical
Officer of Health submitted the desirability of their re-consideration, with the
object of bringing them into line with modern requirements, and laid before
the Committee a draft of revised Regulations, based upon those in force in
the City for tenement houses and the model Bye-laws of the Local Government
Board.
