HC Deb 09 July 1896 vol 42 cc1106-7
CAPTAIN BAGOT (Westmorland, Kendal)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he will direct that the Parish Council of Heversham-with-Milnthorp, Westmorland, be furnished with a copy of the Report of the Inspector who recently held an Inquiry as to the proposed division of the parish?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (MR. HENRY CHAPLIN,) Lincolnshire, Sleaford

The Inquiry referred to was with respect to an appeal against an order of the County Council of Westmorland dividing the parish of Heversham-with-Milnthorp, and the Local Government Board have determined to confirm the Order. The Reports of the Inspectors of the Board on inquiries such as that in question are regarded as confidential documents, and consequently it is not the practice to furnish copies. No exception to this rule can be made in the present case.
