HC Deb 02 April 1984 vol 57 c378W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department who will set standards, to ensure compliance, and police premises owned by London borough councils under the terms of the Licensing Act in the event of the abolition of the Greater London Council.

Mr. Mellor
