To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what decisions he has taken in respect of the future local government boundary of Stockport metropolitan borough; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

The Cheshire and Greater Manchester (County and District Boundaries) (No. 2) Order 1992 was made on 26 August 1992, giving effect to the Secretary of State's decision on changes to the City of Manchester and Stockport local government boundary from 1 April 1993.

A draft order was issued on 4 December 1992 showing the Secretary of State's decision on Stockport's boundaries with Tameside, High Peak in Derbyshire and Macclesfield in Cheshire.

I am sending the details of both these sets of changes to my hon. Friend.
