HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 c1107W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment how the timetable for proposed reorganisation of Cleveland is affected by the county council's application for a judicial review.

Mr. Curry

We have laid before Parliament, for its approval, a draft order to give effect to reorganisation in Cleveland on 1 April 1996. If that approval is given, we shall consider the position in relation to the county council's outstanding application for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal before the order is made.
