To ask the Scottish Executive why it intends to introduce a requirement on councils to redistribute 2% of their annual budget as a result of carrying out Best Value reviews. In better aligning demand for and supply of services, the Scottish Executive expects Best Value to be a useful tool in establishing where funds are being applied to less than optimum effect, and could be better recycled within the authority.The consultation paper, Best Value in Local Government: Next Steps, suggests that in the absence of an incentive scheme which rewards councils for continuous improvement, the public purse might benefit from a requirement that they should redistribute at least 2% of their annual budgets this way every year.We are currently considering comments on this suggestion.
