§ Sir Eldon GriffithsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to announce his decision on the Local Government Boundary Commission's report No. 608 and recommendations regarding the boundary between Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
§ Mr. PortilloThe Commission's final report was sent to my right hon. Friend on 9 September 1991. I regret that its notices informing the public that no decision could be taken for at least six weeks, and it was now open to them to make any representations directly to him, were defective. They have now been re-published, thus extending that period to the end of the year. There will be no avoidable delay in reaching a decision as soon as possible.
