HC Deb 20 February 1979 vol 963 c92W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what length of time local borough councillors elected in May 1979 will be expected to serve before they are required to stand for re-election.

Mr. John

The year of retirement of district councillors elected at the ordinary elections in May 1979 depends on the provisions made in the electoral arrangements order for the district concerned.
