HC Deb 20 December 1960 vol 632 c1053
38. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what further consideration has been given to the proposals for reorganising local government in the London area.

Mr. Brooke

Consideration of these proposals is proceeding along the lines indicated in the reply which I gave to a Question by my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Surrey, East (Mr. Doughty) on 11th November.

Mr. Sorensen

Can the right hon. Gentleman give us some idea of the time programme for the implementation of these proposals?

Mr. Brooke

In my Answer on 11th November I said: It is proposed to invite local authorities and other bodies principally concerned with the broad local government issues to put forward their views within the next three months."—[OFFICIAL REPORT, 11th November, 1960; Vol. 629, c. 86.] We shall then study them.
