HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 c308W
Mr. Gwilym Roberts

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the Royal Commission on Local Government, whether the present review undertaken by the Bedfordshire County Council will be implemented.

Mr. MacColl

My right hon. Friend has told local authorities that, after consulting the local authority associations, he has decided to confine his consideration of county review reports and proposals to those submitted to him not later than 31st August, 1966. If the Bedfordshire County Council submit their review by that date, he will consider it. He cannot yet say whether it will be implemented.
