years ago between the County Council and the Borough Councils on the
restoration of these services, hut subject to ministerial approval.
This approval was not forthcoming during the year. In the meantime,
the Government had decided to establish a Royal Commission to enquire
into the status, functions and areas of local authorities in the
Greater London Area, and in these circumstances any action on the
transfer of these services has had to be postponed until after the
Royal Commission's report.
During 1957, Mr. T.H. Prescott who had been Chief Administrative
Assistant with the Health Department since 1947 retired after having
had 44 years' service with the Council, having joined the Health
Department in 1915. Mr. Prescott left with the good wishes of
everyone. He was succeeded by Mr. A. Healey, who has been Senior
Clerk for the past eight years.
In conclusion, I welcome this opportunity of acknowledging the
help and co-operation I have received from the Members of the Council
and from other Chief Officers. I should also like to thank the
staff of my Department for their continued good work and valuable support
during the year,
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. STANDRING.
