Ms Mary Hoade:

We will take this in two parts. I will take the part of the question about the LDA engaging with local authorities. This is our primary concern. The LDA is not engaging with elected members. The only engagement is with executives. We have a major concern with the whole area around section 183 and the removal of the power of councillors. The LDA is not engaging at any level with the locally elected members. All the engagement is with our executives. We are asking that this will be a partnership and that the agency would work in collaboration with the elected members of local authorities. Ms Colgan will take the second part of the question.
