HC Deb 25 June 1973 vol 858 c260W
39. Mr. David Price

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when he intends to alter the boundaries of the standard regions used by Government Departments to bring them into line with new local government boundaries for England and Wales.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

As I indicated to my hon. Friend in my reply of 31st January, these boundaries will need to be reviewed both in the light of the new local government boundaries and in the light of the forthcoming report of the Commission on the Constitution.
