Public matters newsletter, September 2013

1 September 2013

It has been a very busy summer for lots of us working in or with the public sector and with the policy initiatives coming from central government and the response of local government it is looking like a busy end to the year as well.

We have articles this month on PF2, mutuals, the localism debate, state aid and framework agreements. As in previous editions we have a question and answer section, this month Anja looks at combined authorities.
