these are recommendations from a joint working party  D of E of the erm local authority association  and they are to  almost unbelievable  for us to consider and I can only assume that the  that  we must remember that this is really a response to what I call Heseltine's last squeeze which was the idea of executive mayors  and so in a sense lip service which has to be paid somewhere  along those lines but it does recommend that we think seriously about cabinet govern government about  single party committees and I can't imagine how anybody in their right minds would  argue now that the cabinet government when they  see what cabinet government leads to in Westminster and what de facto cabinet government leads to in  majority ruled councils up and down the country  erm, there is of course a  I think a misleading er  er brownie point  the idea of relaxing restrictions on  members allowances but members must realise why that is in there.
