The Minister has dealt with most of them, but not all. He did not explain the 2020 deadline. He visualised it the other way around but I am not sure the county council needs that flexibility. I am not sure I agree with getting rid of the three-year deadline so I proposed a reasonable balance. If the calculation is drastically wrong or disadvantageous to the city council, it is reasonable to wait three years for a first review. To leave it ten years without reconsidering it is too much if it turns out to be wrong. I am not sure it is fair. There should be an ongoing commitment beyond the ten years. Does the Minister believe that exists within this legislation? The county council has to have some sense that it will continue beyond that.
