HC Deb 25 February 1980 vol 979 cc399-400W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will re-introduce within the life of the present Parliament the Local Government Grants (Ethnic Groups) Bill (1979); and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Whitelaw

There are no plans to re-introduce this Bill. The operation of section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966, which that Bill sought to replace, is currently under review.
