HC Deb 19 February 1907 vol 169 cc712-3
*MR. REES

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board when he expects to be able to introduce a Bill providing for the control by county councils of the expenditure of standing joint committees.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS, Battersea)

I do not think that I can make any promise as to the introduction of a Bill on this subject at the present time.
