HC Deb 15 December 1983 vol 50 cc546-7W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he anticipates that joint boards acting as successors to the Greater London council but not answerable to the electorate would spend less or more public money than under the present legislative arrangements.

Mr. Waldegrave

I am sure the new arrangements will give London ratepayers better value for money.
