HC Deb 17 February 1988 vol 127 c658W
15. Mr. Bernie Grant

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he plans to take any action, in the light of the latest annual reports of the seven residuary bodies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

The 1986–87 annual reports show that all seven residuary bodies are making good progress in discharging the functions they inherited from the former metropolitan county councils and the Greater London council. I congratulate all seven on their work.
