To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many private representations he has so far received on the reorganisation of local government in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

It was made clear in the White Paper that all responses received would, unless otherwise requested, be placed in the Welsh Office's library and the Library of the House. No respondents sending in representations to the Welsh Office have indicated that they want their comments to be private.

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what closing date he has set for comments on the White Paper on the reorganisation of local government in Wales; and if he will make a statement.

I have not set a formal closing date. But I have made it clear that I would find it helpful to receive comments by the end of June. That will be four months after the publication of the White Paper.
