asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government (1) if his attention has been drawn to the resolution passed and sent to him by the Association of Municipal Corporations on 26th July condemning the financial policy of Her Majesty's Government and its effects upon local government; and what action he will take;

(2) what consultations he has had recently with representatives of local authority associations on the subject of the restrictions on capital expenditure; and if he will initiate such consultations in the near future.
