Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received to date concerning possible unitary status for Blackpool and Blackburn. [15651]

We have received a small number of representations commenting on our decision, announced on 2 March, to direct the commission to look again at the case for giving the districts of Blackpool and Blackburn unitary status. Some have welcomed the decision; others have opposed it.
