HC Deb 02 May 1974 vol 872 cc549-50W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the estimated cost of the alteration and provision of buildings for local government reorganisation.

Mr. Oakes

Decisions about the use and adaptation of buildings for local gov- ernment purposes are essentially matters for the individual authorities themselves, and I have no estimate of the cost of such changes which might be attributed to the reorganisation of local government.
