§ MR. D. A. THOMASTo ask the President of the Local Government; Board whether, under his Memorandum on the Redistribution of Seats, it is proposed that the county borough of Newport shall become a separate constituency apart from the towns of Monmouth and Usk; and whether Monmouth and Usk will be thrown into one of the Divisions of the county of Monmonth.
(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) It is not proposed that the county borough of Newport should become a separate constituency. It is intended that the Monmouth District boroughs, which at present contain part of the county borough, should be extended so as to include the whole of it.
