§ 31. Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health whether, in so far as local authorities are not already empowered by existing Statute to provide, out of rates, the moneys necessary to establish a site company in accordance with the provisions of the Special Areas (Amendment) Bill, he will, by legislation or otherwise, take steps to empower local authorities to take such action?
§ Sir K. WoodI am advised that legislation would be required to give effect to this proposal. No Government Measure of this kind is at present in contemplation.
