SCRUTINY DISREGARDED

The agenda for next weeks' Cabinet came out today. Only one item on the agenda - one that was not on the so-called Forward Plan, though SIX issues in the Forward Plan seem to have disappeared.........Of no surprise is the absence of an agenda item on progressing the next stage of the Strategic Transformational Partnership; as recommended by the Scrutiny Committee last week. All of this does not bode well for democracy - but then they are Tories !
