HC Deb 19 May 1999 vol 331 c397W
20. Mr. Goggins

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what plans he has to support one-stop shops for access to both local and national government services. [83661]

Mr. Kilfoyle

The "Modernising Government" White Paper, launched on 30 March, contains a number of initiatives to encourage joint working between central and local government, including one-stop shops. There will be a drive to eliminate obstacles to joined-up working, including a more co-ordinated approach to property management, and a second round of the Invest to Save Budget to fund new projects that involve partnership working.
