§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department and Minister for Welsh Affairs (Major Gwilym Lloyd-George)Although only one circular has been sent to county councils during the last two years which specifically required an increase in both expenditure and staff, there have been several enactments and Statutory Instruments and matters arising therefrom which may have involved county councils in increased expenditure or staff, or both, and on which it has been the duty of my Department to issue circulars.
