LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM (Hansard, 18 December 1946)

HC Deb 18 December 1946 vol 431 cc1954-5 1955

§ 46. Mr. Peart
asked the Prime Minister if he will arrange for a Royal Commission to investigate the reform of local government in all its aspects.

§ The Prime Minister
No, Sir.

§ Mr. Peart
While the reply is negative, would my right hon. Friend keep the whole question in mind? Is he aware that there is in this House and in the country a large volume of opinion which favours an urgent and radical reform of local government?

§ The Prime Minister
Yes, I dare say there may be, but I do not think there is any unanimity on the matter.
