HC Deb 15 March 1994 vol 239 c581W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what assessment he has made of the value of MORI opinion polling in informing of the work and recommendations of the Local Government Commission.

Mr. Baldry

It is for the Local Government Commission itself to determine the value of the opinion polling which it has commissioned.

Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list by county and non-metropolitan district in England such information as he has concerning the amount of money spent publicising the local authority's case on the current review of local government.

Mr. Baldry

That is a matter for authorities themselves; we do not collect information on these costs.
