HC Deb 24 April 1950 vol 474 cc70-1W
123. Mr. M. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Health when the Government will be prepared to recommend the granting of charters of incorporation to local authorities wishing to achieve borough status.

Mr. Blenkinsop

The Government will not encourage the grant of charters of incorporation before they have reached conclusions on local government reform. I cannot, however, say when that will be.
