LONDON BOROUGHS (BOUNDARIES AND FUNCTIONS)

HC Deb 01 February 1945 vol 407 c1625

43. Captain Duncan

asked the Minister of Health the names of the members and the terms of reference of the special body foreshadowed in Cmd. Paper 6579, which is to be set up as a matter of urgency to inquire into borough boundaries and functions within the county of London.

Mr. Willink

No, Sir. I propose to await discussion of the White Paper before taking steps for the institution of this inquiry.

Captain Duncan

Does not the Minister realise that the White Paper itself says that this is a matter of urgency?

Mr. Willink

Yes, Sir, but the White Paper indicates also that this House should have an opportunity of discussing the proposals.
