HC Deb 18 February 1931 vol 248 cc1247-8
62. Sir NEWTON MOORE

asked the Home Secretary whether the petition of the ratepayers of the Barnes Urban District for incorporation has been considered by the Privy Council; and, if so, what is the decision?

Mr. SHORT

My right hon. Friend is informed by the Lord President of the Council that the petition has not yet been considered. The second part of the question, therefore, does not arise.

Sir N. MOORE

Can the hon. Gentleman give any information as to when it is likely to be considered, because this is a matter which entails no additional expense to the country or the ratepayers?
