HC Deb 03 May 1984 vol 59 c233W
Mr. Wareing

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many representations he has received respecting the Local Government (Interim Provisions) Bill; how many of these have been favourable; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

About 80—mostly unfavourable as a result of campaigns conducted by authorities opposed to our proposals.
