§ 22. Mr. Boyesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what subjects will be discussed at his next meeting with representatives of the Association of Metropolitan Authorities.
§ Sir Keith JosephI have no meeting currently arranged with the association, but both the Association of Metropolitan Authorities and its colleagues in the Association of County Councils know that I am always very ready to meet them to discuss topics of concern. For example, I have written to both associations to say that I would be happy to discuss with them the recent HMI report on the effects of local authority expenditure policies.
