Lord Alton of Liverpool to ask Her Majesty’s Government to provide details of what the Caller Report identified as a “secret cabal” operating within the Liverpool City Council; which documents have been destroyed in some of the Council’s Departments and what the Local Government Minister has identified as a “serious breakdown of governance at the council.”
Lord Alton of Liverpool to ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Liverpool residents will have to fund the cost of the Caller investigation and the cost of sending in Commissioners; how much it is expected to cost; and to quantify the statement of the Local Government Minister that potentially millions of pounds have been wasted because of the lack of oversight at the Council.
