HC Deb 09 July 1984 vol 63 cc374-5W
6. Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what was his reply to the invitation to present the Government's case for abolishing metropolitan county councils as highway and passenger transport authorities at a transportation conference in Merseyside on 29 June.

Mrs. Chalker

Neither my right hon. Friend nor I was able to attend, as we both had prior engagements on that day.
