Local Government Review (Northern Ireland)

HC Deb 27 November 1970 vol 807 c238W

Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware of the recommendations of the Review Body on Local Government in Northern Ireland, which would result in an increase in the size of the Northern Ireland House of Commons and Senate, and which would involve an amendment of the Government of Ireland Act, 1920; and what action he proposes to take.

Mr. Sharples

My right hon. Friend will await the Northern Ireland Government's consideration of the recommendations of the Macrory Report.
