HC Deb 06 December 1966 vol 737 cc251-2W
62. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will table the appropriate orders in Parliament before the Christmas Recess giving effect to the ward boundary redistribution in Sheffield.

Mr. Greenwood

No. Provision for the new warding arrangements for Sheffield will be included in the Order which will extend the city. This will be laid before Parliament in the New Year.

64. Mr. Swain

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the fact that a Royal Commission has been given the task of investigating the whole aspect of local government, he will suspend the Sheffield Order until the Commission has reported.

Mr. Greenwood

No. The decision to accept with modifications the Local Government Commission's proposals for the extension of Sheffield was taken having regard to all the relevant facts and circumstances including the decision to set up the Royal Commission.
