HC Deb 23 July 1979 vol 971 c28W
Mr. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will reconsider the decision made by his predecessor in February 1977 and make a favourable recommendation to Her Majesty The Queen that Her Majesty should grant a lord mayoralty to Southampton.

Mr. Whitelaw

I regret that I would not feel justified in making a recommendation to Her Majesty on this matter at the present time.
