If four independent people can assess one council, then those findings should be applicable to all councils. In reality it could be done thre times say, and averaged out, and that is what each council's limit would be for allowances.

It seems like a waste of time and money to do each and every council, because all councillors will experience the same need for allowances.

It seems daft there are people going round assessing each individual council, especially if those recommendations aren't being followed anyway.
