My hon. Friend was a distinguished leader of one of the largest authorities in England before his election to the House. Is he satisfied about the direction of our local government policy? Local education authorities are being neutered. Social services are standing ready for absorption by the health service. Housing departments are being coerced into stock transfers. Are we living up to the ideal, which we espouse at election times, that we believe in local government? It seems difficult to judge, does it not?
