HC Deb 11 April 1938 vol 334 c756
50. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether he will consider introducing in the near future some form of self-government for Newfoundland resembling that of the British county borough?

The Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Marquess of Hartington)

My right hon. Friend does not think that under present conditions the hon. Member's suggestion is practicable, or that it is likely to become so in the near future.

Mr. Lunn

Will the Noble Lord have an inquiry made into the matter to see if it is possible to establish some form of local government in Newfoundland?
