I wondered if I could very quickly ask Mayor Pipe a question on the Ministerial statement yesterday on the 'bedroom tax'. It appears to me that what is being said is rather than change the actual proposals so that the categories talked about are exempt, what is being done is that the Government is asking local authorities to use discretionary payments to effectively pay that money back. Is that right? Can you explain what the process would be and, importantly, is the Government actually funding this?

I like the vision; I am just not sure that is where the wand and the magic come in " it is how you get that together. With all the agencies and all the boards and all the steering groups and all of these people, it does not seem to me that there are clear lines of responsibility as yet. I just wonder how disputes and conflicts will be resolved and, ultimately, who has sway? Can the Mayor just come in and say `because I say so"?
