§ Miss HorsbrughIt seems to me reasonable that county authorities should now review the working of their schemes of divisional administration. Any such review must, of course, be carried out within the framework of the relevant provisions of the Schedule to the Act of 1944 as amended, with due regard to the purposes for which divisional executives were set up. On this understanding I am ready to consider applications by individual authorities for my consent to the making of schemes designed to vary, revoke or supplement existing schemes or to replace them by fresh schemes.
