HC Deb 05 February 1991 vol 185 c104W
Mr. Burns

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will bring forward legislative proposals to prevent all local authorities from banning the display of the union flag on local authority property, vehicles or businesses that operate under the issuing of a licence from a local authority; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Key

No: a local authority is answerable to its electors for such decisions. I am sure that the electors will take note of decisions of which they disapprove.
