Further to concerns raised within the WLGA Coordinating Committee paper, entitled Local Government Reorganisation in Wales – Taking Stock, that an "urgent need for clarity" is required with regards to local government reorganisation, will the Minister outline the steps he is taking to ensure that new discussions will fully involve WLGA?

I have already met with the WLGA and will be attending the WLGA Annual General meeting in July. I am also in the process of meeting all twenty two Local Authorities to hear their views on a range of matters including Local Government reform.
