Decentralisation Programme: Statements.
With over 18,000 applications for relocation, it is time the Government explained its strategy to decentralise Departments and replaced the fog surrounding its plans with concrete proposals. It is time the Government produced a blueprint for decentralisation in order that the public and, in particular, the applicants for relocation have a clear picture of the criteria on which decisions relating to decentralisation will be based. We want to know exactly what formula and criteria will be involved. I would appreciate if the Minister of State would explain them.
