HC Deb 08 February 1978 vol 943 cc587-8W
Mr. Bradley

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will advise county councils not to terminate their highway agency arrangements with district councils during the present period whilst the reallocation of functions is under consideration.

Mr. William Rodgers

This is a matter to be settled between the authorities concerned, but I hope that existing arrange ments will not be upset when they are working well and districts wish to retain them.
