§ Brian WhiteTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what progress is being made in concluding local public service agreements. [21426]
§ Mr. RaynsfordThe national roll-out phase of local PSAs is now under way. Almost 120 local authorities have said they want to take part in the programme over the next two years. We have signed the first of these further agreements with East Riding of Yorkshire council, and expect to sign agreements with Leeds city council, Peterborough city council and Buckinghamshire county council before Christmas. Copies of local PSAs will be placed in the House Library as they are concluded.
