§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what action he will take against those local authorities in Wales that boycott the local government reforms to take place in 1995; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RedwoodI regret that some authorities have apparently decided not to participate in discussions about the reorganisation. I hope that they will come to see that the best interests of their staff and the public they serve lie in some co-operation.
