HC Deb 02 July 1980 vol 987 c598W
58. Mr. Major

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what further consultation he is having with the local authority associations on overspending by local authorities.

Mr. Heseltine

I have no meetings planned before 31 July the date due for the submission of revised budgets for local authority expenditure for 1980–81, but I hold regular meetings with local authorities in the Consultative Council on Local Government Finance.
