[19952]
§ Mrs. GillanA final decision on the interpretation of legislation would be a matter for the courts. Subject to that, however, my right hon. Friend considers that the provisions which would apply would be those in force at the time of any sale. Proposals by the Association of London Government which would affect the arrangements for sharing the proceeds from disposal of certain former Inner London education authority property are at present under consideration.
