HC Deb 05 March 1973 vol 852 c19W
Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will lay without further delay the order to enable the freedoms granted to Territorial regiments by their local authorities to continue to be exercised under the new Local Government Act.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. and learned Friend is considering the form of the provision he will need to include in an order to be made under the Local Government Act 1972. I can assure my hon. Friend, however, that the necessary action will be taken in good time to ensure that honorary freedoms are preserved when reorganisation comes into full effect on 1st April 1974.
