HC Deb 23 February 1900 vol 79 c931
MR. CORNWALLIS

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board on what grounds the Board gave their consent to the recent application of the Registrar General to unite the West Maidstone sub-district with the Last Maidstone sub-district, against the unanimously expressed opposition of the guardians of the Maidstone Union; whether this course was adopted on the advice of the Local Government Board's inspector; and whether he will now take steps to give effect to the wishes of the guardians in the matter.

MR. CHAPLIN

I have not yet received the information from the Registrar General. Perhaps the hon. Member will postpone the question.
