Mr. Ian Talbot:

I thank the Deputy for his interesting questions, which are very much in our space. As we have at least one chamber per local authority, we have a very clear focus on what local authorities are doing. When we talk about the efficiency of local authorities, we need to consider the executive process and the councillor process. We are constantly wonderfully impressed by the great work that is being done by executive operations in local authorities around the country to encourage business, tourism and everything else.
