This meant that average Welsh poll tax bill issued in April would be reduced by £95, Mr Hunt noted. He echoed Environment Secretary Michael Heseltine's view that local government tiers were likely to be streamlined after further consultation. Labour spokesman Barry Jones accused Mr Hunt of leaving crucial questions unanswered about the new local tax and ignoring the particular needs of Wales. 101 Headlines 150 Latest Next News Parl'ment Politics WorldNews

Scottish tertiary colleges would also be removed from local authority control from April 1993, saving £200m, he added Scotland would also be moved towards single-tier local authorities but on a shorter timescale than England, he said Labour's Donald Dewar demanded an apology for Scotland which, he noted, had been used as a test ground for the poll tax for a year longer than England 102 Newswatch 198 Newsreel Next News Parl'ment Politics WorldNews
