HC Deb 23 July 1968 vol 769 c54W
51. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he has now notified the county boroughs involved in his proposals for the creation of a Greater Tyneside of his decision to proceed with the project; and why he issued an announcement of action before he was in possession of the Report of the Royal Commission on Local Government.

Mr. Greenwood

I have made no proposals for the reorganisation of local government on Tyneside nor shall I do so until the Report of the Royal Commission on Local Government in England has been received and considered.
