All in good time says minister over review

摘要

Local government minister, Bob Neill, has dampened down speculation of early changes to the local government funding regime. Speaking at the launch of a Localis think-tank report into localising the business rate, the minister, who is leading the DCLG review into local government finance, told the audience: 'We don't want to rush forward too quickly, and we can't just wave a wand and go back to where we were in the 1980s. This isn't something that can be done at the snap of the fingers.'
