HC Deb 26 March 1889 vol 334 c834
MR. HERBERT GARDNER (Essex, Saffron Walden)

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether it is the intention of the Local Government Board to issue a Circular to the County Councils, under Section 53 of "The Local Government (England and Wales) Act, 1888," in order to place the recommendations of the Boundary Commission before the Councils, or whether the Councils can proceed to make the representations in regard to those recommendations without awaiting any such Circular?

*THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE,, St. George's-in-the-East) Tower Hamlets

I have forwarded to the Council of each county affected by the Report of the Boundary Commissioners a copy of so much of the Report as relates to the particular county, and I have brought specially under the attention of the County Council the provisions of Section 53 of the Local Government Act.
