HC Deb 27 February 1930 vol 235 c2419
97. Captain MARGESSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received petitions from the parishes of Great Wolford, Little Wolford, Barton-on-the-Heath, Little Compton, and Long Compton, in the Brailes rural district, against the proposal contained in the representation submitted to him by the Gloucestershire county council for a Provisional Order to transfer these parishes from the county of Warwick to that of Gloucester; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. GREENWOOD

Petitions have been received. A local inquiry will be held into the proposals, at which any interested party will have the opportunity of making representations.

Captain MARGESSON

Does the Minister realise the great indignation which exists locally against the proposed transfer?

Mr. R. A. TAYLOR

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell us whether this indignation is in Long Compton or Little Compton?
