Howard letter.
Following received from Tory leader Micheal Howard this morning.
House of Commons, London.

Dear Mr
Thank you for coming to see me at my advice centre on Saturday.
I quite understand your concerns about the points you raised and I have reflected on them as I said I would.
I am in favour of greater independence for local authorities. I have therefore come to the conclusion that it would not be right for me to seek to interfere with the local authorities to which you refer in order to tell them what to do.
They are responsible to their electors for their decisions.
With best wishes.
Yours sincerely
Lorriane Pitcher for Micheal Howard.
