Local Government Reorganisation (Hansard, 20 October 1993)

HC Deb 20 October 1993 vol 230 c272 272

§ 12. Mr. Olner
To ask the Secretary of State for the, Environment when he last met representatives of the local authority associations to discuss local government reorganisation.

§ Mr. Curry
On 14 September.

§ Mr. Olner
The Minister said earlier that he wanted local government reorganisation to become closer to the people. I would not disagree and suggest that we should look at unitary authorities based on districts. As well as closeness, those authorities need a degree of freedom.
