HC Deb 27 November 2001 vol 375 c790W
Mr. Lazarowicz

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if she will make a statement on the ability of Scottish Borders Council to carry out its statutory functions in relation to reserved matters. [17388]

Mrs. Liddell

Most of the statutory functions of the Scottish Borders Council relate to devolved matters. To the best of my knowledge, reserved matters have been dealt with appropriately by the Council.
