HC Deb 24 January 1973 vol 849 cc167-8W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the number of duties now facing the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, he will appoint additional commissioners and enable the commission to increase the size of its staff.

Mr. Graham Page

The commission already comprises the maximum number of commissioners permitted by the Act. Consideration is being given to the proper scale of staff to serve the commission in the tasks ahead of it.
