HC Deb 16 March 1971 vol 813 cc309-10W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a circular to local authorities urging them not to ignore, for development purposes, those areas over which they may lose control when the new local government boundaries are implemented.

Mr. Graham Page

I am sure that local authorities will continue to act fully in accordance with their responsibilities, notwithstanding the imminence of reorganisation.
