§ 79. Sir NEWTON MOOREasked the Home Secretary whether he has received any indication from the chairman of the Royal Commission which is considering the general question of local government areas as to when they will make their Report; and whether, in view of the fact that several petitions for the grant of municipal charters of incorporation are being held up pending their recommendations, they propose to deal with this particular phase of the investigation prior to the final Report?
§ Captain HACKINGThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, I have also no information—the point raised is a matter the determination of which rests with the Royal Commission.
§ Sir N. MOORECan the hon. Gentleman give any indication as to when the Royal Commission will report?
§ Captain HACKINGNo, Sir; it wilt be some little time yet.
