Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance – in the Senedd at 2:17 pm on 20 June 2018.
Thank you for that answer. The Cabinet Secretary for public services is considering reorganising local government and the cost of the reduction from 22 to 10 principal councils has been calculated at between £200 million and £400 million. Is the Cabinet Secretary able to add that amount to the local government revenues budget to pay for reorganisation, or would reorganisation have to be paid for by service reductions?
