§ MR. RATHBONE (Carnarvonshire, Arfon)asked the President of the Local Government Board, Whether the Town Councils of Boroughs which are counties will be District Councils as well as County Councils; or, whether the effect of the Bill will be, that in those boroughs the provisions relating to District Councils will be inoperative?
§ THE PRESIDENT (Mr. RITCHIE) (Tower Hamlets, St. George's)Clause 1734 50 of the Bill provides that the part of the Bill relating to District Councils shall not apply to boroughs which are counties in themselves. The clause, however, further provides that the powers of Justices out of Sessions, which in other cases would be transferred to the District Council, shall, where a borough is a county of itself, be transferred to the Town Council.
