HC Deb 17 June 1965 vol 714 cc114-5W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he expects that the report of the Boundary Commission for the North-West Area will be received.

Mr. Crossman

I do not expect the report of the Local Government Commission on the North-Western General Review Area until 1967. The Commission have not yet published their draft proposals for the area and when they have done so they will have to allow for the making of representations before holding the necessary statutory conferences with local authorities and other public bodies. All this takes some time to accomplish and I doubt whether the Commission will be ready to begin considering their report and final proposals until well into next year.
