Question accordingly agreed to.

Mr. Deputy Speaker forthwith declared the main Question, as amended, to be agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House deplores the habit of the Labour Party to run down London in a way which, if taken seriously, would damage its image abroad, deter foreign investors and bring glee to London's competitor cities overeas ; emphasises that London is one of the world's finest cities with cultural and business attractions which have few rivals, a transport system as extensive as any in Europe and international hub airports which are the envy of others ; welcomes the decision of the Government to relieve London of the unnecessary and highly wasteful Greater London Council ; deplores Labour's plans to establish a still more wasteful London-wide body with powers to control the police which even the Greater London Council did not have ; welcomes the Government's enmormous investment programme in public transport and in infrastructure in Docklands ; and salutes the Government's achievements of the last 12 years which have raised Britain's reputation abroad and with it that of her capital city.
