Description

Jeff Collins talks to the Westminster City Council leader Miles Young on the homes-for-votes inquiry which he criticises for costing too much and taking too long. He says if councillors face a professional and financial risk every time they vote due to constant referral to Audit Commission local authorities across the country will become paralysed.
