HC Deb 24 October 1973 vol 861 c504W
30. Mr. Bell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what overseas loans by local authorities he has approved during the last 12 months.

Mr. Graham Page

My right hon. and learned Friend has not approved any borrowing by local authorities from overseas. These borrowings are made under local Act powers and do not require my right hon. and learned Friend's approval.
