Welsh County Boundaries Commission (Hansard, 5 February 1963)

§ 31. Mr. L1. Williams
asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs when the final recommendations of the Welsh County Boundaries Commission will be published.

§ Sir K. Joseph
As soon as possible, but I understand from the Stationery Office that this is unlikely to be before early March.

§ Mr. Williams
Will the Minister publish this recomendation in the Welsh language in addition to the English language?

§ Sir K. Joseph
No, that is not planned at the moment.

§ Mr. C. Hughes
Can the Minister say how soon after the publication of the Report, early in March, he will be able to make a pronouncement upon it?

§ Sir K. Joseph
No. Several processes still have to be gone through, and there has to be a public inquiry if sufficient objections are made. Only after that do I have to make recommendations to Parliament.
