Local Government Reorganisation

HC Deb 20 April 1994 vol 241 c530W

14. Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements he has made to issue guidelines in relation to the liaison between local authorities and local water authorities after local government reorganisation.

Mr. Baldry

None. It is a matter for a local authority and a local water company what links are established between them, provided that they comply with statute. That applies whether local government structure is reorganised in their area or not.

18. Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what further representations he has received on local government reforms.

Mr. Curry

My right hon. Friend receives a number of representations from time to time relating to the reform of local government in England. Local government in Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
