I am grateful to the Minister for her reply. I am particularly grateful to her for referring to value-for-money profiles, which I forgot to speak to when I was moving my amendment. To do so briefly, these profiles bring together data about the cost performance and activity of local councils and fire authorities. Using the profiles, it is currently possible to see how an organisation is spending its resources, how the costs and performance of an organisation compare to others’, the latest planned budgets, outlier reporting and so on, so this is pretty important information. Ensuring that that is available in future and maintained and updated is, I suggest, something that ought to feature in the scheme.
The Minister said that a draft of the scheme would be available in due course. I wonder if I might tempt fate and ask for something more specific. Is there the prospect that we might see a draft of this during our consideration of the Bill?
