§ Q39. Mr. Ioan Evansasked the Prime Minister if she is satisfied with the co-ordination of the activities of various Government Departments involved with the heavy snow and extreme weather conditions that happened recently in Wales, the West Country and elsewhere; and if she proposes to review the arrangements for administrative co-ordination for any recurrence of the situation.
§ The Prime MinisterI am satisfied that the local authorities, with whom responsibility lies, did well in dealing with the effects of the severe weather. The arrangements which exist for providing and co-ordinating help by Government Departments proved adequate and I see no need to review them.
