HC Deb 21 April 1988 vol 131 c558W
Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how many staff are currently employed by the London residuary body.

Mr. Chope

The London residuary body employed 1,993 staff at 1 April 1988. This figure is in full-time equivalents.

Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects the London residuary body to be wound up.

Mr. Chope

The future of the London residuary body is dependent on Parliament's consideration of the Education Reform Bill. It expects to have completed its substantive work in winding up the affairs of the former Greater London council by March 1990.
