HC Deb 20 November 1951 vol 494 c213
43. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government on what date consultations were commenced with the local authority associations regarding the revocation of Defence Regulation 68CA.

Mr. H. Macmillan

Consultations are now beginning.

Mr. Blenkinsop

Are we to understand from that that the right hon. Gentleman does not think it necessary to consult with the local authorities before he makes a decision which very seriously affects the local authorities?

Mr. Macmillan

No, Sir.
