HC Deb 23 October 1990 vol 178 c182W
Mr. Michael Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the final report from the Local Government Boundary Commission regarding the future of the county of Humberside.

Mr. Key

[holding answer 22 October 1990]: The commission's programme of work is for it to determine with the resources at its disposal. I understand that the review is taking rather longer that was hoped. Although the commission is making good progress in dealing with the representations it has received, this review is not expected to be completed before the end of the year. I regret that I cannot give a firmer forecast.
