asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what progress has been made in respect of the revision of local government.

16. Mr. D. Jones

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will now make a statement about the reorganisation of local government.

Mr. Sandys

I hope to publish the White Paper on local government organisation quite soon.

Mr. Sorensen

Does that mean that the Minister will arrange, if possible, for a debate on his proposals in the White Paper?

Mr. Sandys

Let us first get the White Paper published and then see about the debate.

Mr. Mitchison

rose—

Mr. Speaker

We will have to wait to see the White Paper.
