On behalf of my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, the BFI inspection reports on the following councils were published today: Bath and North East Somerset Council, Elmbridge Borough Council, Exeter City Council, Gateshead Borough Council, Reading Borough Council, Shepway District Council, Stevenage Borough Council and Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council.
