HC Deb 11 July 1967 vol 750 c61W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science to what extent it is his intention to implement the provisions of the Public Libraries and Museums Act, 1964; and what time limits he will set local authories in the Principality.

Mr. Crosland

In view of the setting up of the Royal Commission on Local Government in England and the imminent publication of the White Paper on Local Government Reorganisation in Wales, I have only acted on the provisions concerning the transfer of functions from one local authority to another where there is local agreement. No question of setting time limits for local authorities has so far arisen.
