§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he proposes to issue a departmental circular in respect of the provisions of the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 before the Act comes into force on 1 April.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerYes. My Department has now received comments from the local authority associations and other bodies on a draft of the circular sent to them on 29 November 1985. This was the subject of a departmental news release (No. 592 of 1985) a copy of which is available in the Library.
