Text

Minister, you seemed to outline a take it or leave it approach there. The Bill's explanatory and financial memorandum says:
"It is not anticipated that the Bill will have any financial effects on the Department."
Does the fact that no funding is attached to the Bill not mean that councils will be reluctant to spend their scarce resources? Will you consider a small budget to support councils?
