HC Deb 17 November 1927 vol 210 c1116
44. Mr. LOOKER

asked the Minister of Health whether he has been consulted upon proposals to enlarge the Borough of Southend by taking in certain adjoining districts or portions thereof; and whether he has received any representations from such districts or the neighbouring local authorities protesting against such an extension being carried out?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.

Mr. LOOKER

Has the right hon. Gentleman received representations within the last few days from any parish councils or other authority?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir, they have not come to me.

Mr. MONTAGUE

Will the Minister consider also the likely enlargement of Southend's political outlook?
