HC Deb 28 February 1973 vol 851 c356W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) what advice he has given to local authorities concerning the desirability to publicise the work that will be done by the new authorities;

(2) if he will send a circular to all local authorities involved in local government changes asking them to make available booklets or leaflets that will be distributed to all concerned telling them of the responsibilities and obligations of the new authorities.

Mr. Graham Page

The various ways of publicising the work that will be done by the new authorities respectively are under joint consideration by representatives of the local authorities and of the central Government. The specific suggestion for explanatory booklets and leaflets which local authorities would distribute to all households is one of the kinds of publicity for reorganisation under consideration.
