HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 cc980-1
37. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further action he intends to take to secure joint consideration by adjacent local authorities in the Greater London area and elsewhere in respect of any proposals for the revision of local government.

Mr. Sandys

Full opportunity will be given for all concerned to consider such proposals before the introduction of any legislation.

Mr. Sorensen

Can the Minister give any idea of when that is likely to happen? Increasing difficulties about the future are arising for local authorities, and if he could give some idea of when that is likely to happen, it would certainly help local authorities a great deal.

Mr. Sandys

They will have plenty of warning.

Mr. Sorensen

That is not very helpful.
