Does the hon. Gentleman recognise that this Question was on the Order Paper before the mutually helpful meeting last Thursday between himself and representatives of the councils of East Ham, West Ham and the others concerned? Is he aware that it is not only in football that these joint boroughs have a justified local sense of pride but in social services as well? Will he urge upon his right hon. Friend, when reaching a decision, to have in mind the history of this matter and the fact that East Ham and West Ham have both had independence in health administration for many years?

Order Paper

The order paper is issued daily and lists the business which will be dealt with during that day's sitting of the House of Commons.

It provides MPs with details of what will be happening in the House throughout the day.

It also gives details of when and where the standing committees and select committees of the Commons will be meeting.

Written questions tabled to ministers by MPs on the previous day are listed at the back of the order paper.

The order paper forms one section of the daily vote bundle and is issued by the Vote Office
