HC Deb 11 May 1965 vol 712 cc31-2W
53. Mr. Reader Harris

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what reports he has had on the effective-

and Merseyside Special Review Areas to cover the whole of Central South Lancashire.

Mr. Crossman

Extensions on the scale proposed would have far exceeded anything Parliament had in mind when it passed the Local Government Act in 1958. I decided it would be wrong to go further than the more limited extensions made by the two orders I recently laid before Parliament.
