HC Deb 11 March 1948 vol 448 c175W
74. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider making a special dispensation to allow retained men in local fire brigades to serve as borough and rural district councillors.

Mr. Ede

I am advised that this matter is governed by Section 59 of the Local Government Act, 1933. The statute confers on me no power to exempt any class of person from the provisions of this Section.
