I'd like to talk about {{U}}(1) {{/U}} in England and Wales, and in England and Wales there are {{U}}(2) {{/U}} of council. For instance, if I could take the example of Oxfordshire, there is {{U}}(3) {{/U}} where they are responsible for education, {{U}}(4) {{/U}}, structure planning, highways, {{U}}(5) {{/U}}, and so on. And there are {{U}}(6) {{/U}} district councils, again in Oxfordshire, and they are {{U}}(7) {{/U}}, in particular council housing, for local plans, for {{U}}(8) {{/U}}, environment health, and they're also responsible for {{U}}(9) {{/U}}, and in Oxford, for instance, they are building an ice-rink {{U}}(10) {{/U}} of the city.
If we could {{U}}(11) {{/U}} the question of education, I think this would {{U}}(12) {{/U}} of local government in the {{U}}(13) {{/U}}. First of all, there is a minister at {{U}}(14) {{/U}} level. He is the {{U}}(15) {{/U}} for Education and he's responsible for running a {{U}}(16) {{/U}} education system in the {{U}}(17) {{/U}}. But {{U}}(18) {{/U}} there is a lot of local control. So the local councils, {{U}}(19) {{/U}} such as Oxfordshire County Council, actually run the schools and colleges in their {{U}}(20) {{/U}}.
