Subject

United Kingdom. Salop (No. 2) Order 1966
Thetford Borough Council

Scope and content

Contains correspondence with Thetford Borough Council and Jasper More MP regarding his attempt to defeat the Salop (No.2) Order which sought to demote all existing boroughs in Shropshire, except Shrewsbury, to the status of rural borough. Thetford's opposition, and that of JH, stemmed presumably from the fear that the Order would set a precedent for other rural boroughs. It was also felt that with a Royal Commission being set up to consider local government it would be better left to that body. A copy of the Order is included.
