HC Deb 10 April 1930 vol 237 cc2361-2
75. Mr. ISAACS

asked the Minister of Health if he has received an application from the Woolwich Borough Council asking for an inquiry into the working of the Local Government Act, 1929, and requesting that a Bill be introduced providing for the further equalisation of rates in London; whether he is aware that the Woolwich application is supported by other Metropolitan Borough Councils; and whether he proposes to take any steps to institute such an inquiry and to introduce a Bill as suggested?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT, in reply to a written question by the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood) a statement of the terms of the reply which has been sent to the Woolwich Borough Council. I have received no communication on this matter from other Metropolitan Borough Councils. As regards the last part of the question, I would refer to the reply which I gave to the right hon. Member for West Woolwich on 24th March.
