Administrative history
The Local Government Commission for Wales was appointed by Royal Warrant dated 5 January, 1959 under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1958, and charged with the duty of reviewing the organisation of local government in Wales, and of making such proposals as were authorised in the Act for effecting changes appearing to be desirable in the interests of effective and convenient local government.
The Commission, under the chairmanship of Sir Guildhaume Myrddin-Evans, K.C.M.G., C.B. was appointed as a separate Commission for Wales (which for the purpose of its task was deemed to include Monmouthshire) and worked quite independently of the Local Government Commission for England. The Report of the Commission was presented to the Minister of Housing and Local Government on 10th December 1962 and published in 1963.
