The declaration of the polls in the twenty-eight new London
boroughs, which were incomplete at the moment of our going to press last week, may be summarised as follows
Conservatives ... ...
... ...
... 826 Progressives ... ... 456 Independents ... ... 37 Independent Conservatives
...
... 4
Independent Progressives ...
... 7 Labour ...
4 Stoke Newington ••• ••• .•• ... 30 Total ... 1,362 By arrangement the contest in Stoke Newington was con- ducted on a non-political basis. The Press Association, which classifies the Stoke Newington members as Inde- pendents, supplies a somewhat different analysis, giving the Conservatives or Moderates a majority over Progres. sives, excluding Labour and Independent members, of 325. With the significance of the elections we deal elsewhere.
