§ THE EARL OF REDESDALE,in moving an Address for Return relating to the union of parishes and Poor Law and Highway Boards of all complaints made to any public offices of inconvenience arising from the union of parishes belonging to different counties in Poor Law or Highway Boards, said, that from practical experience he believed no inconvenience had arisen from a union composed of parishes situated in different counties. In the case of Highway Boards, it might not be desirable, in some cases, to have a very large district.
§
Moved that an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty for—
Return of all complaints made to any public offices of inconvenience arising from the union of parishes belonging to different counties in Poor Law or Highway Boards.—(The Earl of Redesdale.)
THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDONsaid, there was no objection to the granting of the Return, which would probably contain much useful information. He would defer any obser- 954 vations on the question of the union of parishes in different counties till the Return was on the Table.
§ Address agreed to.
