Ministers for Women, Margaret Jay and Tessa Jowell will launch the first ever Government led opportunities fair for women on February 13th 2001. ‘Women Unlimited’ will give practical ideas and advice to women wanting to explore their work choices and take advantage of new opportunities available to them. It will bring together under one roof, experts, employers and training organisations to provide interactive seminars, informative exhibitions and networking opportunities. 

Deciding on the new council structure to replace the ‘committee system’ will be made easier by a set of blueprint options published by the Department for Environment, Transport and Regions.

It emphases the wide diversity of possible options and variations.Councils can decide which model to adopt, but there must be prior public consultation.
