DERATING INDUSTRY
Britain's Reform Of Local Government.
SOCIAL SERVICES TOO COSTLY.
(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 7. Sir Kingsley Wood, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, addressed the second of a series of conferences he is holding with representatives of the local authorities to explain the Government's scheme for the derating of industry and the reform of local government. He said the social services were costing the country more than £1,000,000 a day. Many of them were administered by no fewer than six separate organisations, and there was an unanswerable case for greater co-ordina-tion. Referring to the criticism that the reform proposals would lessen the interest of the electorate in municipal work, Sir Kingsley said he believed the new system of block grants would ensure a greater measure of local responsibility. It would certainly make for greater freedom from the interferences of Whitehall in local administration.
