Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 8 June 2016.
Well, I think these things are best kept on a formal basis, but I thank the Member for that invitation, nevertheless. Well, yes, those discussions will now begin. There seems to be general agreement that there is a need to move forward with reform of local government, but, of course, there are varying different views as to what form that should take. And, of course, the Cabinet Secretary will have discussions on this over the course of the next few weeks and months.
