§ 6. Mr. Doddsasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what further consideration has been given to the ending of industrial derating ; and what action has been decided upon to remedy this situation.
§ Mr. SandysThis problem is being examined, as part of the comprehensive review of local government finance which is being undertaken.
§ Mr. DoddsCan the Minister be a little more specific and say whether there is any likelihood of the present unsatisfactory conditions continuing for a very long period?
§ Mr. SandysI do not think that it would be a good thing for us to announce piecemeal our conclusions upon various parts of this very comprehensive review.
