asked the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the Layfield Committee Report concerning rates; and if he plans to implement that Report with or without modifications before 1st April 1977.

Mr. Oakes

As for receipt of the Report, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Goole (Dr. Marshall) and the hon.

No undertakings can be given on implementation until we have seen the report and studied it in consultation with interested parties.
