HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 c351W
18. Mr. John Mark Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he next intends to review the system of local government in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Needham

I am not at the moment undertaking a review of local government. However, as my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, indicated in the debate on 7 July, this is one of the matters that could arise in any talks about the future government of Northern Ireland.
