HC Deb 14 July 1970 vol 803 c155W
24. Mr. Marks

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if, in view of the general agreement on the appropriate type of local government organisation for the South-East Lancashire and North-East Cheshire area, he will introduce legislation making special provision for this area at an early date.

Mr. Peter Walker

I agree on the need to press forward with reorganisation but it is not practicable to deal with this part of the country in isolation.
