HC Deb 12 July 1993 vol 228 c324W
Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the Audit Commission's review of the Local Government Commission costings.

Mr. Gummer

It is for the Local Government Commission to decide whether to publish any opinions provided to it by the Audit Commission. I have therefore written to the chairman of the Commission, Sir John Banham, to ask if he would write to the hon. Member with his comments.
