HC Deb 20 December 1929 vol 233 cc1791-2W
Mr. ELLIS LLOYD

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that several local authorities in Glamorgan wish to extend their boundaries; and, in view of the expenses of such schemes, will he appoint a commission to consult with the local authorities with the object of arriving at an agreement between them?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; as regards the second part, it is the duty of the County Council under the Local Government Act, 1929, to review the county districts and to submit to me before the 1st April, 1932, proposals for any changes they consider desirable, after conferring with the County District Councils and consulting the adjoining County Borough Councils. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of a memorandum on the subject which I have issued to Local Authorities.
