§ Sir E. GRAHAM-LITTLEasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the inhabitants of the parish of Woldingham, in Surrey, have shown their hostility to inclusion within the urban district of Caterham by a unanimous resolution passed at a public meeting, by a poll of electors at which 420 voted against, and only 26 in favour of, absorption, and by a petition signed by nearly all adults in the parish; whether he is aware that the parish is separated from Caterham by hills and valleys in three other parishes; whether he has received any complaint in regard to the past local government of the parish; and whether he is prepared to consider any representation which may be made to him under Section 46 (5) of the Local Government Act, 1929?
