§ 76. Miss WiddecombeTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the Audit Commission's findings as detailed in its report entitled "Preparing for Compulsory Competition."
§ Mr. GummerThe Audit Commission's report "Preparing for Compulsory Competition" offers much sound guidance to local authorities on how to meet the challenges of competition introduced by the Local Government Act 1988 and achieve the savings of 20 per cent. or more that are available. We commend the report to the House and are making arrangements for a copy to be sent to all hon. Members.
