HC Deb 13 June 1984 vol 61 cc493-4W
16. Mr. John Mark Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he intends to discuss with the local authority associations the use of ratepayers' money for political advertising.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I continue to receive a large number of representations on this subject. If the Government conclude that legislative or other action is called for, I will discuss any proposals with the local authority associations.
