HC Deb 15 May 1972 vol 837 cc34-5W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what further legislation he is planning by Order in Council as well as those measures which have already commenced the parliamentary process.

Mr. Whitelaw

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Questions by him and the hon. Member for Belfast, South (Mr. Pounder) on 1st May in which I listed a number of matters on which I propose to recommend that Orders in Council should be made.

In addition to these I hope to recommend in due course that Orders in Council be made dealing with tourist development schemes and with the following matters arising mainly from the reorganisation of local government:

  1. 1. Rating and valuation.
  2. 2. Local government finance.
  3. 3. Planning.
  4. 4. Water and sewerage.
  5. 5. Road Traffic (Amendment).
  6. 6. Drainage.

I am also considering the need for Orders in Council to deal with financial matters.—[Vol. 835, c. 48–50.]
