HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 c285W
Miss Quennell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he has made in his consultations with interested parties on the establishment of a Commissioner for Local Government Administration; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Graham Page

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on this point on 26th July to the hon. Member for Huddersfield, West (Mr. Lomas), since when a few more replies have been received, but my right hon. Friend is not yet ready to make any statement thereon.
