(2) Before any land is dealt with under this Section the Local Government Board shall give public notice by advertisement in the locality in which the land is situate, and if objection in writing is made to the proposal by any person interested in the land the land shall not be placed at the disposal of a county council unless a public inquiry has been held in the locality in which the land is situate and the person holding such inquiry reports to the Local Government Board in favour of the land being so dealt with.
§ Mr. BIRRELLI accept this Amendment.
