HC Deb 09 June 1969 vol 784 cc958-9
61. Mr. Gordon Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his latest estimate of the date of publication of the report of the Royal Commission on Local Government in Scotland.

Mr. Millan

I have nothing to add to the Reply my right hon. Friend gave the hon. Member on 15th April.—[Vol. 781, c. 229–30.]
