<p>Whilst the Secretary of State is committed to consider any proposals for unitarisation
or mergers where requested, his current priority in relation to the six Oxfordshire

- to which all six councils have now agreed – is delivered against. Accordingly he
has no immediate plans to reach a judgement on the proposal to replace all six councils
with a new single council, which three of the six councils have submitted.</p>
