HC Deb 13 March 1980 vol 980 c649W
Mr. Waller

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the light of the refusal of the Court of Aldermen of the City of London to approve the election to that body of Mr. Donald Silk, he plans to reform electoral law applying to local government institutions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

I have no standing in the matter of elections to the Court of Aldermen of the City of London and no plans for legislation.
