Dear Sir or Madam,

CLGCOM in its 11th report of session 2004 -2005 made the following
recommendation:

'The Commission for Local Administration in England is required to
submit a review of its legislation, together with proposals on
this, to the ODPM every three years. This is done in consultation
with interested bodies. The Commission told us that the most recent
review, which contained several recommendations to Government, was
submitted in May 2003 and had not yet received a response from
ODPM. ODPM informed us that although no response had been
published, proposals made in the review had been the subject of
discussions between the Commission and Department. The full
departmental response is attached. While we welcome this action,
there is a lack of transparency regarding the department’s reaction
to the review. We recommend that ODPM publish a clear summary of
what progress has been made in addressing the recommendations
contained in the Commission for Local Administration in England’s
2003 Review.'

Please provide a copy of the ODPM / DCLG report, and a list of
consultees and consultee responses.

Yours faithfully,

Stuart Hardwicke CARRUTHERS
