HC Deb 25 November 1919 vol 121 c1653W
Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he will allow the borough councils who are acquiring land in rural areas to use such schemes as a lever foe the extension of their boundaries?

Dr. ADDISON

The acquisition of land by a borough council in an adjoining rural area would not in itself afford sufficient justification for an extension of the boundary of the borough.
