地方創生へ交付金倍増　石破首相、初の所信表明

　石破茂首相が４日に衆参両院本会議で行う初の所信表明演説の骨格が分かった。地方創生の取り組みを支援する交付金を、当初予算ベースで倍増させる方針を表明。地方重視の姿勢をアピールする。関係者が３日、明らかにした。
　首相は「地方創生２．０」を掲げ、「新しい地方経済・生活環境創生本部」を新設する考えを示している。演説でもこれを強調。先の自民党総裁選で訴えた防災体制の強化に向け、防災庁設置の検討を加速する方針にも言及する。
　首相は自衛官の処遇改善のため、自身をトップとする関係閣僚会議を設ける意向で、勤務環境や給与の改善などを進める必要性を訴える。（2024/10/03-12:20）
