I propose to publish a policy statement on local government that will outline Government policy for an action programme to renew and develop the local government system in line with the Programme for Government. In this regard, I intend to bring proposals to Government in the autumn on the measures needed to develop and enhance the local government system, improve its capacity to meet current and future challenges and make a substantial contribution to the national recovery effort.
