HC Deb 16 December 1987 vol 124 c520W
Dr. Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he plans to hold meetings of the Consultative Council on Local Government Finance after 1 April 1990.

Mr. Ridley

Clause 77(4) of the Local Government Finance Bill will require the Secretary of State to consult representatives of local government before making a revenue support grant report. I shall be considering in due course what consultation arrangements will be appropriate after 1 April 1990.
