HC Deb 23 October 1986 vol 102 c932W
Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is able to give details of savings that have arisen from the abolition of the Greater London council and the six metropolitan county councils.

Mr. Ridley

I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Member for Surbiton (Mr. Tracey) on 22 May 1986, at columns295–96. I cannot yet add substantively to that reply. Further information on manpower levels and redundancies is currently being received and analysed. I hope to make a further statement in due course.
