HC Deb 30 July 1984 vol 65 c47W
Mr. Neil Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he has any plans to alter the boundaries of greater Manchester so as to include the town of Wilmslow.

Mr. Waldegrave

No. My right hon. Friend has no power to initiate proposals for boundary changes, which can result only from a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission. The commission is due to review the local government administration boundaries of the metropolitan counties in the period 1 April 1987—31 March 1992.
