HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c552W
Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make it his policy to report to the House any cases of the appointment of commissioners to discharge district council functions.

Dr. Boyson

Yes, that would be the Government's intention. Any order made under the provisions of article 3 of the Local Government (Temporary Provisions) (NI) Order would, of course, be made available to the House.

Sir John Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish the names and qualifications of such persons who have been or may be, appointed as commissioners for the discharge if necessary of district council functions.

Dr. Boyson

Arrangements exist for the appointment of persons under article 3 of the Local Government (Temporary Provisions) (NI) Order 1986 if necessary. No persons have been appointed to date.
