§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which responses to Cmnd. 9063, "Streamlining the Cities", supported the setting up of four area committees within the proposed joint board for the London fire brigade.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThe creation of four area committees was not canvassed until the paper about the transfer of functions on the abolition of the Greater London council and metropolitan county councils was published on 31 July by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. It was not included in Cmnd. 9063. Only one response, opposed to the proposal, has been received.
