§ MR. GEORGE WHITE (Norfolk, N. W.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, in reference to his final statement in the House of Commons last session that he had decided to dissolve Guiltcross Union, why the Order has not yet been issued, and when it may be expected; whether he can explain why letters asking for information for the guidance of the Guardians concerned in making their arrangements have not been answered; and whether he is aware that the delay and uncertainty as to the nature of the Order are inconveniencing the unions concerned.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI informed the Guardians of the Guiltcross and other Unions concerned last year that the dissolution of the Guiltcross Union would take place at Lady Day next. An Order will shortly be issued accordingly. There has been difficulty in determining as to how the parishes comprised in the Guiltcross Union should be distributed, but the Guardians have now been informed of my decision in the matter.
