HC Deb 30 October 1996 vol 284 c122W
Mr. Patrick Thompson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he proposes to issue a consolidation of the 1990 local authority capital finance regulations. [1737]

Mr. Curry

A draft consolidation of these regulations is being issued this week to local authorities and other interested parties. A copy is being placed in the House Library. I am inviting comments on the draft by the end of January. The new regulations will come into effect next April and will supersede the 1990 regulations.
