GREATER LONDON COUNCIL ELECTION 1967

Leaflets and pamphlets.

The Greater London Council was established by the London Government Act 1963, which received Royal Assent on 31st July 1963. Initially, it was elected in multi-member electoral areas comprising the whole of each London Borough, but these were accepted as too large for genuine local representation, and from 1973 the GLC was elected from single-member electoral areas, identical to the constituencies used for Parliamentary elections.

The GLC was abolished in 1986, and most of its services transferred to government-appointed bodies. GLC members from inner-London electoral areas were also appointed to the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) together with one member each from the inner London Boroughs; in 1986 ILEA was directly elected with two members returned from electoral areas identical to the inner London Parliamentary constituencies (there had been a boundary change in 1983). In 1990 ILEA was in turn abolished and responsibility transferred to the Boroughs.
