§ Mr. Dubsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received from the principal opposition parties represented in the Greater London council on the proposals for London contained in his White Paper, "Streamlining the Cities"; what consultations he is having with them on these matters; and what reply he has made to their representations.
§ Mr. WaldegraveI have received submissions from the Conservative group on the Greater London council indicating its support for our commitment to restructure local government in London, and from the London SDP and Liberal parties arguing for a directly-elected education authority for inner London. We are considering these views alongside the many other representations received.
