"2. With this in mind, the Council deprecate the proposed embargo
on the creation of County Boroughs in Middlesex as in their
view it is inequitable that the Council and the Burgesses of
a Borough of the size of Harrow should be deprived of their
existing right of seeking County Borough status, without, in
lieu thereof, the conferment of a greater measure of local
autonomy than at present exists.
"3. That the Council note the reference in the White Paper to
consideration being given to the desirability of some further
delegation or transfer of functions within the County of
Middlesex, and the Council urge that any new or transferred
functions should be conferred by Parliament upon the Council
of the Borough as of right and not be the subject of optional
delegation by the County Council."
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
CARYL THOMAS,
Medical Officer of Health.
Council Offices,
Kynaston Court,
Harrow Weald.
