ABSTRACT

At this stage, we will return to the setting of the fictitious region that provided the context for the three case examples of Part III. We will first make what we consider to be some essentially unrestrictive assumptions about the form of local government to which such a region might be expected to conform as a result of the fundamental changes that should ultimately follow the reports of the two Royal Commissions; and we will then consider how the skeleton of an appropriate control system might be fashioned within the region itself.
