I've just caught up with the news that Eric Pickles has announced in principle the abolition of Government Offices in the regions of England. This was one of the low-hanging fruit in terms of cutting quangos and offices.
Some raise concerns about economic development in the regions - but for places like the North East where this matters most the development agency is likely to remain, and in other regions councils are perfectly able of co-operating on issues of economic development.
A no-brainer and a good move for the country's finances without impacting economic development.
