HC Deb 12 July 1972 vol 840 c357W
56. Mr. Roy Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if the review of local government finance has now been completed; when he intends to introduce legislation based upon it; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Graham Page

Consultations have taken place about the Green Paper on local government finance. Legislation embodying the Government's proposals for the reform of local government finance will be introduced, I hope, for them to be in force from April, 1974.
