HC Deb 01 July 1969 vol 786 cc83-4W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will revise his proposals for local government reorganisation in South Wales in the light of the proposal of the Royal Commission on Local Government in England to remove the distinction between county boroughs and county councils.

Mr. George Thomas

Following the publication of the Royal Commission's Report, all Welsh local authorities have been given an opportunity to alter or add to the views they have already expressed about the Government's proposals for local government reorganisation in Wales. I will consider the position further when I receive the local authorities' observations.
