§ Mr. MILLSasked the Home Secretary if he is now able to make a statement as a result of the consideration of the Report of the Royal Commission on Local Government; and whether it is proposed to proceed with those petitions for incorporation which have been before the Privy Council for some time and have been held up pending the final Report?
§ Mr. CLYNESI understand from my right hon. Friend the Lord President of the Council that a communication will shortly be addressed to those who have petitioned for municipal incorporation indicating the requirements of the Privy Council in the light of the Report of the Royal Commission, and that he anticipates that it will subsequently be possible to resume consideration of certain of those petitions.
