HC Deb 17 January 1990 vol 165 cc280-1W
Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether his Department has undertaken any review into the operation of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The operation of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 has been monitored since the Act came into force and a formal review of the Act is currently under way. We intend to publish a consultation paper later this year setting out our proposals for changes to the Act.
