HC Deb 04 April 1985 vol 76 c736W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport in the event of the abolition of the Greater London council what additional cost there will be to Hillingdon ratepayers arising from expenditure on the Hayes by-pass.

Mrs. Chalker

The Government have made it clear that they expect the overall effect of the abolition of the GLC to be broadly neutral for ratepayers in different areas. The detailed financial arrangements are under discussion with representatives of the local authority associations.
