Annual Reports of Metropolitan Borough Councils were at one
time required to be prepared under the provisions of Section 198
of the Metropolis Management Act, 1855, but by Section 13(7) of the
Local Government (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1916, and subsequent
enactments, the provisions as to the preparation of Annual
Reports were suspended.
Section 61 of the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1929, provides as follows :—
" It shall be the duty of each borough council to publish as early as practicable
after the 31st day of March in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty and
in each subsequent year and in any case not later than the 30th day of September
next after such thirty-first day of March a report of their proceedings for the
year ending on such 31st day of March together with a copy of the return prepared
by them for the purposes of the Local Taxation Returns Acts and such other
information as may be prescribed by the Minister of Health in respect of that
year ..."
This is the Second Annual Report prepared under this section.
