The Electrification of London

Abstract

THE various electric railway Bills which have already passed through the House of Lords came up for second reading in the House of Commons last week. In spite of some attempts to reject several of these Bills they all successfully passed the second reading and have been referred to two Select Committees of the House of Commons. These Committees, each of which will deal with about half-a-dozen Bills, are to hold their first meetings at once, the one under the chairmanship of Sir L. M'lver, the chairman of the other being Mr. Seale-Hayne.
