on 1st August, 1968; and why he has again postponed the date of operation from 1st June, 1969 to some unstated future time.

Mr. Carmichael

I am sorry that we are not yet able to make this Order, which was applied for by the county council in March last year. This is principally because of the need for resolving a number of difficult legal points affecting the form and drafting of the Order.

The Order will be made at the earliest possible date.
