Members for Hornsey and Wood Green of 28 April and for Southwark and Bermondsey (Mr. Hughes) of 14 March,Official Report, column 459, why the information placed in the Library is incomplete for the London boroughs; and if he will now provide the information on indebtedness for all London boroughs.
§ Mr. Chope[holding answer 4 May 1988]The information, which related to 1986–87, placed in the Library is incomplete because the following authorities had not submitted returns: Camden, Greenwich, Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Brent, Ealing, Haringey, Harrow. Southwark and Harrow have since submitted returns, but the table provides information for all London boroughs for 1984–85, the latest year for which complete information is available.
