HC Deb 27 June 1977 vol 934 cc49-50W
Mr. Corbeft

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what powers local authorities have to regulate fees charged for services by agencies; and what are the criteria against which an application for the renewal of a licence are fixed.

Mr. Guy Barnett

The information contained in the Question is not sufficient to enable an answer to be given. The statutory provisions relating to fees and licences vary widely. If my hon. Friend will write to me with details of the problem I will give him a full reply.
