HC Deb 11 February 1987 vol 110 c239W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list what studies he has initiated since the abolition of the Greater London Council to monitor and assess any effects which might have occurred as a result of the transfer of responsibilities from the Greater London Council to other bodies.

Mr. Chope

Information is collected from local authorities under section 56 of the Local Government Act 1985 and analysed regularly in order to assess the overall costs and savings from abolition.
