Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what plans he has for emergency legislation to deal with the budget situation of the city of Liverpool;

(2) if he will meet a deputation of hon. Members from Liverpool to discuss the city's deficit budget.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Liverpool city council has now made a rate and declared a budget. It is for that council to live with the consequences of its decision. I have agreed to meet a deputation of hon. Members.

Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to appoint a commissioner to run the affairs of the city of Liverpool.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I have no powers to do so.
