HC Deb 31 January 1930 vol 234 cc1381-2W
Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he contemplates introducing a Bill at an early date to give effect to the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Local Gov- ernment that, in lieu of a petition to the Privy Council signed by a majority of the inhabitant householders of an urban district praying for the grant of a charter of incorporation of such district, the petition shall be made by the local authority of such district?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am informed that the Lord President of the Council is considering the possibility of so modifying the procedure as to bring it into harmony with the recommendation of the Royal Commission, without having recourse to legislation.
