HC Deb 21 February 1990 vol 167 c759W
65. Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many posts are on the lists of politically restricted posts lodged by English and Welsh local authorities with the independent adjudicator appointed under the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

The Secretary of State has no power to require the independent adjudicator to provide him with information. I have therefore drawn the hon. Member's question to the independent adjudicator's attention: he will no doubt write to the hon. Member.

85. Mr. Eastham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he will publish the regulations to be made under section 1(5) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

As soon as possible.
