§ 141. Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the applications from the Newport Borough Council asking him to revoke order No. 930, made on 26th April, 1947, constituting the Borough of Newport and the County of Monmouth a single Executive Council for the combined areas; and whether he will take steps to constitute the County Borough of Newport a single administrative area for the purpose of the Health Act.
§ Mr. BevanI see no ground for altering this arrangement, which was agreed by the borough at the time and which I think is right. It does not affect the local government services under the Health Act.
