It is thought the three-storey building at Bishop's Gate, Thorntonhall, was so badly damaged it may have to be demolished.
Scottish Fire and Rescue said the fire on Friday evening was originally tackled by eight firefighters inside the building.
However, they were withdrawn over fears the building might collapse.
Efforts to fight the fire continued externally using a specialist appliance.
The blaze was extinguished, but the roof of the building has gone and the third storey is completely destroyed.
Residents of Bishop's Gate were given teas and coffees at the nearby Thorntonhall Tennis Club.
A spokesman for South Lanarkshire Council praised the "community spirit" and said all of the residents had been given alternative accommodation by relatives.

About 20 residents had to be evacuated from a block of flats after a major fire in a South Lanarkshire village.

The Glasgow-born pair, both 19, have penned two-and-a-half-year deals and will play initially for the Under-21s.
Striker Jack, has played four league games for Doncaster, while central defender Paul has made one appearance in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
"It's a massive club. As soon as I heard Leeds wanted to bring us here, I said 'yes' straight away," Jack said.
"I've played with my brother for a long time and we know each other's game well," he told the club website.
"It works especially well with him being at the back and me being up front. I can make runs and I don't even have to call for the ball from him.
"He knows how I play and I know how to make runs for him. He knows where I'll be."

Director David Cronenberg attempted to revive the franchise in 2011, but 20th Century Fox passed on the project.
An earlier sequel starring Eric Stoltz was critically panned in 1989, but Goldblum said he would like to see a new version created by Cronenberg.
He told the BBC "new technology" would allow the director to "do whatever he wants to with some other Fly story".
"It was kind of primitive back in '86/'87 - I'd be interested in seeing it."
Goldblum starred as scientist Seth Brundle in The Fly, who turns into a giant insect after one of his experiments goes terribly wrong.
The 1989 sequel saw Stoltz as Brundle's son searching for a cure to his mutated genes.
'Budget problem'
Cronenberg, who was not part of the second film, first talked about writing a new version of the film back in 2009 and confirmed in 2011 he had written a script.
Shortly after, he revealed 20th Century Fox was not interested and later explained it was "a budget problem".
Goldblum said he was keen to team up with Cronenberg again, as he "was satisfied with the very nourishing collaboration we had, but it would be dreamy to work with him".
"I'd like to see anything he did really," he said.
The actor is currently starring in another sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence, which picks up 20 years after the blockbuster hit.
It sees Goldblum reprise his role as David Levinson, who is now in charge of Earth's space defences following the alien invasion of the first film.
Liam Hemsworth also stars in the movie, with many of the original's cast returning including Bill Pullman, Vivica Fox and Brent Spiner.
Independence Day took more than $800m (£545.6m) globally when it was released in 1996, but Goldblum said the new film was not an attempt to cash in on that success.
"All the creators were highly respectful of the audience that enjoyed the first one so much and shelled out their hard-earned money," he said.
"I don't think they wanted to do something just to exploit that interest and make them buy another ticket - I think they really wanted to satisfy them and felt a responsibility.
"I know [director] Roland [Emmerich] was not particularly excited about sequels in general.
"The first one was meant to be a stand-alone movie and he brought himself around to be passionate about it for its own reason - but not because it's a sequel.
"He tried to be as creative and original as he could."
Independence Day: Resurgence is released in UK cinemas on 23 June.

Witnesses said it happened just after 18:30 GMT near Usk bridge in Brecon, Powys.
Dyfed-Powys Police confirmed it is searching for a 51-year-old woman.
Mid and west Wales fire crews from Brecon, Talgarth and Crickhowell are at the scene, as well as a boat from Swansea.
Mountain rescuers and a rescue helicopter are also involved.
The incident is ongoing.
It comes as 22 flood warnings are in place for Wales following a day of persistent and heavy rain.
Natural Resources Wales said rivers across the country had been affected, with up to 80mm (3in) expected to fall over the next 48 hours.
Areas worst hit by flooding include Gwynedd, Denbighshire, Conwy and Powys, and about 200 homes are without power.
River levels in some areas have reached almost record highs.
The River Vyrnwy at Meifod has risen to 12.3ft (3.75m), just 1.6in (4cm) below the 12.4ft (3.79m) recorded in February 2011.
Firefighters across the country have made a number of rescues, including:
Crews are also delivering sandbags to Penrhiwfer Road, Tonypandy, Rhondda Cynon Taff, after homes flooded.
Many rivers have burst their banks, and the worst affected include the Severn at Dolwen; rivers Vyrnwy, Mawddach and Wnion. The A458 from Llanfair Caereinion to Llanerfyl, in Powys, was closed because the River Banwy has burst its banks.
Mid and West Fire and Rescue Service has said it has been called out to 50 different incidents, all weather-related.
Pentyrch Primary School, Cardiff, has been closed due to "extensive water damage".
Arriva Trains Wales has cancelled some services.

On Monday, the government announced proposals for 14 new garden villages.
Plans for a garden city in the Black Country were revealed in March, but it will not receive the same funding.
Bosses behind the Black Country plans said work was already progressing and they were "always exploring different funding streams".
See more stories from across Birmingham and the Black Country here
The Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) confirmed a combined bid from Dudley, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Walsall "was unsuccessful in bidding for garden village/town status".
However, a spokesperson added the Black Country Garden City scheme "is not reliant on DCLG funding".
Sarah Middleton, chief executive of The Black Country Consortium, which is behind the project, said about 500 had been built under the scheme so far, with thousands of homes planned to be built annually and millions of pounds of funding already secured.
She said the consortium was "always exploring different funding streams" and the DCLG's decision would not affect its plans.
It is claimed the ambitious Black Country Garden City project will see the biggest regeneration of brownfield sites in the country, spanning over 31 different areas.
The design would see pockets of housing built across the boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
Development is due to be completed by 2025.
Ms Middleton said smaller sites - including some derelict and developed land - would be developed instead of focusing on creating a new town in one area.
"We want to... make sure we're building out from the existing network of villages and towns across the Black Country," she said.
"We wouldn't particularly have one big site, and we actually don't think that would be suitable for a Black Country interpretation [of a garden city]."

Work is progressing on a scheme to build more than 45,000 new homes, bosses have said, despite a bid for funding being rejected.

The Pilgrims are already assured of promotion but were hoping to turn up the heat on League Two leaders Doncaster with a win.
Colchester also have promotion in their sights but lost ground in the play-off race after dropping points in their penultimate home game.
Despite the lack of goals, both sides had chances during an absorbing contest.
Colchester's best effort was a miscued, close-range header from Chris Porter, after a teasing left-wing delivery from Brennan Dickenson.
Porter then screwed another low effort agonisingly wide, this time from Drey Wright's cross.
Plymouth's Antoni Sarcevic got clear down the right after being played in by Graham Carey but his powerful shot flashed wide of the right post.
The Pilgrims went close after a corner from the left appeared to be deflected goalwards by U's defender George Elokobi, before being safely gathered by Sam Walker.

All debris thought to be from the plane has so far been found in East Africa.
But some relatives say there has been no systematic search for further wreckage and that some possible findings appear to have gone ignored.
The plane disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.
Malaysia is in charge of co-ordinating collection of any suspected debris, most of which has been sent to Australia for examination.
So far, six pieces have been found that are considered certain or highly likely to have come from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
The relatives will make the trip to Madagascar from 3-11 December, said a statement posted on Facebook by the group Voice 370.
The group have "no other choice except to take it upon ourselves to do something to find answers and closure," it said.
Campaigner Grace Subathirai Nathan, whose mother was on the plane, told the Associated Press news agency that she would be making the self-funded journey with six other MH370 relatives - three from Malaysia, two from China and one from France.
Responding to criticism of delays in retrieving suspected debris in September, the Malaysian authorities said they were acting on possible discoveries and that everyone should "allow the experts to conduct the verification processes".
There were 239 people on board the missing jet, which is thought to have likely crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
An Australian-led search in the area has yet to find any trace of the plane and is due to be suspended early next year unless it makes a significant new discovery.

Relatives of those on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are to travel to Madagascar to search for debris that might provide clues to the plane's fate.

The Scot succeeded John Lloyd in 2010, when GB were on the verge of relegation to the competition's bottom tier.
In November, Smith led the team to their first Davis Cup title in 79 years with a 3-1 victory over Belgium.
"It is a huge honour and privilege to continue captaining our Davis Cup Team," said Smith, whose side have won 13 of their last 15 ties.
"We have achieved so much over the last six years and becoming world champions last year will be the highlight of my career.
"I'm really excited at the opportunity to continue working with this group of players, support staff and of course our fans. Our Davis Cup journey has captured the imagination of so many people across the country and I'm looking forward to using our Davis Cup successes as a way to get more kids playing tennis."
Lawn Tennis Association chief executive Michael Downey said he was delighted about Smith's contract extension.
"As I said after Leon led the Great Britain team to the title in Ghent, we are lucky to have the world's best Davis Cup captain lead our nation," he added.
Andy Murray helped Britain to a 3-1 victory over Japan in the Davis Cup 2016 first round last weekend. They will play Serbia away in July's quarter-finals.

It was written in 1937 to the mayor of Kendal, to reassure him that she would take care of the town's last working loom, which she had just bought.
She also congratulated him on the Cumbrian town's purchase of a prayer book once owned by Henry VIII's wife Catherine Parr - included in the lot.
The letter was signed Beatrix Heelis, after the writer's marriage in 1913.
Kendal-based 1818 Auctioneers had estimated the lot would fetch between £1,500 and £2,000.
The then 71-year-old author started the letter "you may remember my name" and goes on to reassure the mayor, Henry Airey, that she "will not take away a relic of Kendal without telling you".
The letter and prayer book were put up for sale by descendants of Mr Airey.
A spokesman for the auctioneers described the letter as "a delight to read".
The name of the purchaser has not been revealed.
Many of Potter's creations, including Peter Rabbit and Gemima Puddle-Duck, were written in the Lake District.
Last year was the 150th anniversary of her birth.

A hand-written letter by children's author Beatrix Potter has sold for £1,800 at auction.

McInally, 26, has had to settle for a bench role so far this season despite starting Scotland's last two Tests, in Japan, when Ford was injured.
But he will get a first start of the campaign away to Munster on Saturday.
"I just have to respect the man I have ahead of me in the starting jersey at the moment," he told BBC Scotland.
"I think the world of him. We get on really well and he has taught me a lot over the last few years, and not just about throwing or scrummaging.
"I see how hard he works in terms of the extra stuff he does and how early he comes in to do his extra fitness or rehab.
"I have realised that I needed to work as hard as that, if not harder. And it is hard to work harder than Ross, because he works exceptionally hard.
"Certainly over the last couple of years I have upped my attention to the little things. I come in a bit earlier to do a bit extra here and there because I know the challenge there is to get ahead of him.
"He has got 99 caps for his country, he is an exceptional player. But obviously I want that jersey, and I am just so eager to get out there and play."
McInally has won nine Scotland caps in the last 13 months - six off the bench - after making the positional switch from flanker to hooker three years ago.
Saturday's trip to Munster's atmospheric Thomond Park - a challenge he describes as "right up there" in Pro12 terms - brings back mixed emotions. "Playing there has been enjoyable, but sometimes it has been a nightmare as well," he recalls.
Two years ago Alan Solomons' side earned a one-point victory at the storied stadium on the first day of the season, but McInally was not involved - on the field anyway. "I was helping with the commentary for BBC Alba, so I was admiring it from their studio, unfortunately."
In 2012 McInally was in the back row when Edinburgh travelled there for a group fixture in the old Heineken Cup, the season after they reached the semi-finals.
"I think we were 6-0 down at half-time, and taking it right to them," he said. "We ended up losing 33-0. It was awful. I hate those moments. That is what drives me and motivates me to play well because I hate losing. I will be doing everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen again."
To avoid a repeat scenario on Saturday, McInally - who is co-captain of Edinburgh this season along with Grant Gilchrist - is in no doubt where the team's priorities lie after last Friday's disappointing home defeat by Leinster.
"We just need to go there and put right the wrongs from last week," he added. "Our defence is nowhere near where we need to be as a standard - that has been made abundantly clear by Peter (Wilkins), our defence coach.
"The players take that to heart and we've been working hard this week to get better. There has been a lot of chat, but the proof will be in the pudding when we get out there, and how we react. I just want us to be really, really physical, and then I will be happy."

Edinburgh's Stuart McInally admits he has followed Ross Ford's lead in a bid to dislodge his "good buddy" from the number two shirt for club and country.

It was impressive enough being introduced to Sophia Loren at Harrods on the day he joined Fulham as a player in 1999, not to mention the time his new chairman, Mohamed Al-Fayad, told him to come and say hello to Tony Curtis and listen to his stories about starring alongside Marilyn Monroe.
Jackson was trippier still. "Aye, I met Michael," says the Kilmarnock manager. "Or, at least, I saw him. We were sitting in the changing room and the door opens and this head comes through the gap. Michael Jackson."
The only head that has come through the door at Rugby Park this afternoon belongs not to a global superstar but a representative from a local venetian blinds company wanting to measure some windows.
It's not Hollywood, baby, but it's enough. For Clark, the job of trying to drag the team out of their annual grind against the drop is the only thing that matters.
What strikes you about Clark is his intensity, his raging desire to make things work at Killie where he has a virtually brand new team on his hands and an Everest to climb to try to tie it all together. "Absolute faith" is a favourite expression.
He says he eats and sleeps football, has done since he was a boy growing up in the east end of Newcastle.
"I come from a tough part of the city, a place called Walker," he explains. "Two sisters and a brother. My father worked on the building sites, my mother had various jobs to keep things ticking over and they made me the person I am. I'm not a quitter. I like to think that I'm tough.
"As a player, I was honest, I gave my best. I had to think quicker than others because I didn't have huge pace. I could pass and create but above of all I had a never-say-die attitude.
"I know I was a handful at times. I'm not sure that Lee Clark the manager could have handled Lee Clark the player. He was just an absolute hot-head on occasion. There were many, many times when I blew up. I could be the nicest lad off the pitch, but on the pitch I could go crazy. I would have hated managing me."
You put it to the test and ask if he'd like to have his younger self at the heart of his Kilmarnock midfield.
"On reflection, aye," he smiles. "He'd be useful. He'd be well up for it."
Clark's career has been a fascinating one. He made his Newcastle debut at 17. Ossie Ardiles became his manager. Ardiles believed in young players and pitched them into his side in great numbers. Newcastle didn't get consistency, but they unearthed some talent.
"We played against Tranmere in what was called the Zenith Data Cup and it finished 6-6. That kinda summed up Ossie. We were naive but we were entertaining and some foundations were put in place for what Kevin [Keegan] did afterwards.
"Here at Kilmarnock I've done a similar thing to Ossie. I did it at Huddersfield as well. Young players. Freshness and dynamism. I have to show the same faith in them that Ossie showed in me and seven or eight of my team-mates.
"Some of our new players from down south are not used to this type of football. They're used to more technical stuff, not the in-your-face aggression of up here. Plus, a few of them have never been away from home before. They're experiencing what that's like as well. They're learning that to win a game of football, it's not just about ability, it's about a battle.
"You have to man-up, you have to fight your way through it. It's the players who are strong mentally who'll survive."
That was never a problem for Clark. He laughs now when he talks about his youngest son, Bobby, who is 11 and is in the Newcastle academy. Bobby was never quite sure whether to believe his father when he told him that he used to play for the club. Then the young man was shown around the place and found his dad's picture on the walls and went, 'Ah, so it's true!'
Clark almost achieved immortality at Newcastle under Keegan in that famous season of 1995-96. At his next club, the Geordies' arch-rivals, Sunderland, he achieved notoriety.
He had two fine years there - getting promoted to the Premier League in one of them - but exited under a cloud. Newcastle played Manchester United in the 1999 FA Cup final and Clark had arranged to meet some mates in a pub on Baker Street in London beforehand.
When he got out of a taxi, he was spotted by Newcastle fans who pulled a t-shirt over his head and started taking pictures.
"There was a derogatory slogan about Sunderland fans on it," recalls Clark. "I had it on for about 30 seconds but the cameras were flashing for fun. When the pictures got out, that was the end of my time at Sunderland.
"A big regret. Huge. I would love to go back to the Stadium of Light and for them to appreciate me for the two great years we had, but there's a bit of hatred there now from the fans."
He entered the wonderful world of Al-Fayed's Fulham and loved his six years there. He won a First Division title in 2001 and, under Jean Tigana, finished ninth in the Premier League. "A great period in my life," he says.
Clark's first step into management was at Huddersfield in late 2008. They were entertaining, broke club records for unbeaten runs and goals scored [he signed Jordan Rhodes from Ipswich and made him an £8m player], but fell agonisingly short of promotion to the Championship two seasons running.
"What gives me hope at Killie is what we did at Huddersfield," he says. "We built a young team, went 43 games unbeaten at one stage and came very close to promotion. On the day I lost my job we had three defeats in 55 games. That's life. The queue of lads that came to see me to say goodbye was humbling.
"Jordan was one of those. A wonderful kid. There's a picture I have on my wall at home of me embracing Jordan after a game at Sheffield Wednesday. We drew 4-4 and Jordan got all four."
He said he a choice at that point to buckle or to fight - and he fought. He became Birmingham City manager in June 2012 but it did not work. The club's owner, Carson Yeung, had been arrested for money laundering a year before - he was later sentenced to four years in prison - and the club was in financial limbo and forced to sell its best players. He was sacked in October 2014.
Five days later he joined Blackpool. "My silly ego got the better of me. The club was bottom of the league and I thought I could turn it around. I quickly realised I couldn't.
"It was an unhappy place. Fans were demonstrating about the owners and it got very nasty. The atmosphere was poor and we went out of the league with a whimper. I resigned (May 2015) and then took some time out to take stock. Then I got the opportunity to come to Kilmarnock.
"Will it take time to get the club up the table on a consistent basis? Yes. Do managers always get time? No, but I'm hopeful. I want top half of the league. I don't to be always seen as a fire-fighter. I want to get back to where I was at Huddersfield where we were always looking up and striving rather than looking down and worrying.
"I've always said that it's not how people perceive you when you come through the door, it's how they perceive you when you go out."
Can this driven Geordie turn Kilmarnock around? He answers: "A lot of people would say no and that's understandable. We're underdogs, but underdogs have their day, too, you know."

Burton will be promoted to the second tier for the first time if Walsall fail to beat Fleetwood on Monday.
Lucas Akins met Mark Duffy's cross to put Burton ahead with a tap-in finish.
Cody McDonald levelled with a header from a Bradley Dack corner and the Gills piled pressure on Burton before Naylor headed in a Duffy corner.
Gillingham, who are two points adrift of sixth-placed Barnsley after the Tykes drew 2-2 with already-relegated Colchester, suffered an early double blow with Bradley Garmston and Aaron Morris forced off injured inside 16 minutes.
Still, the Gills made it difficult for Nigel Clough's Burton side, with McDonald and Dominic Samuel particularly menacing, but Burton survived a number of scares before Naylor won it.

Tom Naylor's injury-time winner put Burton on the brink of promotion to the Championship and damaged Gillingham's play-off hopes.

Shaw was chopped down by Hector Moreno before being carried off early on.
After a long delay, Memphis Depay scored a weaving opener on his return to PSV, but in first-half injury time Moreno headed in from a corner.
PSV's Luciano Narsingh headed in a 57th-minute winner despite United dominating for long periods.
Unlike previous games this season where Louis van Gaal's side have struggled to turn their superiority into chances, they chalked up 17 shots on goal to PSV's six.
There were encouraging displays from Depay, who scored his third of the season, and Anthony Martial, who made his full debut following his wonder goal during the win over Liverpool last Saturday.
Poor finishing let the visitors down, although their biggest concern will be over Shaw who will now suffer a lengthy lay-off.
United started the game well but after 15 minutes they were rocked by the injury to Shaw, who has made a positive start to his second season at Old Trafford.
The England full-back burst into the box after riding two challenges, but as he bore down on goal he was scythed down by Moreno and from the Mexico defender's immediate reaction, it was clear that the injury to Shaw was serious.
Replays showed that his right leg appeared to be broken and after 10 minutes of treatment the 20-year-old was taken off on a stretcher to sympathetic applause from the PSV fans.
There was no punishment for Moreno, who equalised in first-half stoppage time.
With a lengthy absence to come, left-back Shaw's inclusion in the England squad at Euro 2016 must be in some doubt.
Depay may not have scored in the Premier League so far, but fresh from his £31m move from PSV to Manchester United in June, the 21-year-old looked at home on his return to the Philips Stadium.
The forward, who scored 22 league goals for PSV en route to the Eredivisie title last season, started down the left and linked up well with striker Martial, who showed no signs of nervousness despite his tender age of 19 and his £36m transfer fee.
Depay's goal was not dissimilar to Martial's effort at Old Trafford against Liverpool. Played through by Daley Blind, he cut inside, and beat Jeroen Zoet with some ease. When the scores were level, the Dutchman could have added to his tally after a smart one-two with Martial but struck straight at the PSV goalkeeper.
In addition to their profligacy in front of goal, United were also guilty of contributing to both PSV goals. The first, which came from Moreno's header, bounced off Blind's head and wrong-footed Ashley Young, who was well placed to stop the initial effort on the goalline.
The second was well taken by Narsingh, who headed in a delightful left-wing cross by Maxime Lestienne, but Matteo Darmian was guilty of giving the ball away in his own half.
There was plenty of time to recover, and Depay had several chances to double his tally despite switching onto the right side during the second half.
Juan Mata was perhaps guilty of the worst miss by failing to control a chipped ball by Bastian Schweinsteiger.
There was plenty of encouragement for Van Gaal's side, who will face Wolfsburg at Old Trafford on 30 September before travelling to CSKA Moscow on 21 October, and Martial gave them added power and pace up front.
But they will be disappointed not to have earned at least a point on their return to the Champions League after a year's absence.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "It's the same game as against Swansea. We are dominating the game, we are creating chances and we are not finishing. The first chance they have, the corner kick, they scored.
"The second goal, we were attacking and then we lose the ball in the first phase and they scored. It's fantastic for PSV but for us it is very bad."

Councils in England and Wales were said to be male dominated, with women and ethnic minorities under-represented.
The Fawcett Society and Local Government Information Unit recommend statutory maternity leave, funding childcare and allowing councillors to attend and vote remotely.
Councils said "faster progress" was needed, without "imposing structures".
The report, which draws on online surveys, feedback from public meetings and interviews with female council leaders, concluded that local government in England and Wales was "stuck in the past".
Among its headline findings are that one in three local councillors are female, women account for just 17% of top council jobs while men outnumber women by six to one in terms of jobs in finance and resources departments.
While women make up 78% of the local authority workforce, they account for just a third of chief executives. Of the 35 county, unitary and metropolitan councils in England that had elections in May, only two of them - Oxfordshire and Durham - elected more than 40% women.
In Wales, female representation was below 20% in Blaenau Gwent, Ceredigion, Merthyr Tydfil, Newport, Pembrokeshire, Wrexham and Anglesey.
The report identifies significant barriers to entry for women, particularly those with young children and caring responsibilities. Of the 353 councils in England, only 4% have any kind of maternity, paternity or parental leave policy in place.
While the report found some councils have informal arrangements for their elected officials, many of whom are unpaid volunteers, it had learnt of "unacceptable" stories of women being told they would lose their cabinet positions if they became pregnant.
"We call on government to introduce a nationwide policy and end this scandal," it said.
Councillors are not paid a formal salary but they are given allowances to compensate them for their time spent on council business, varying from a couple of thousand pounds a year to £20,000 or more.
The report calls for councils in England to offer a year's maternity leave or shared parental leave to councillors, in line with that available to direct employees, with the guarantee that officials would not be discriminated against for not attending a meeting for six months.
Cabinet officers with executive responsibilities, who often manage multi-billion pounds budgets, should retain all their allowances while on leave.
The Fawcett Society said the paucity of women of child-bearing age currently in executive positions meant the cost of the policy would not be huge and even if half of all council leaders were women and took 12 months off, it would cost about £3.8m.
Among the report's other recommendations are:
The report suggests that many councils have working cultures reminiscent of the 1970s where sexual harassment goes "unchallenged and unchecked". Codes of conduct, are needed, to address sexism and discrimination with proper complaints and disciplinary procedures, it says.
Its findings were described as "shocking" by Labour MP Dame Margaret Hodge, a former leader of Islington Council who co-chaired a year-long investigation into the issue of female participation funded by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, whose work informed the report.
She said: "The way councils do business is still designed by, and for, men. This needs to change and fast."
The Fawcett Society said at current rates of progress, it would take about 50 years to secure gender equality in county councils while the picture was scarcely better in the combined authorities created since 2011.
"We are going backwards and that is fundamentally unacceptable in the 21st Century," said its chief executive Sam Smethers.
But the Local Government Information Unit said there was good practice in many councils which needed to be adopted more widely.
The Local Government Association, which represents more than 300 councils in England and Wales, said it was supporting a range of initiatives to encourage women and other under-represented groups to become involved in local politics.
LGA vice chair Marianne Overton said the report "rightly identifies that progress must be made at a faster pace".
She added: "Local government must be at the forefront of driving change, but it will be important to get the balance right between changing culture and imposing structures.
"Change will also require all political parties, no matter the colour of their rosette, to fully engage and support a wide range of aspiring councillors."

The 25-year-old said: "I've complained to the WBA and IBF [who] in the next 24 hours will tell me who he is.
"On tape you see him around Peterson's corner celebrating. It's bad for boxing we want fair fights and justice."
The WBA official who Khan alleges was interfered with has refused to tell the BBC who the man sat next to him was.
On Thursday Khan accused an unidentified man of "interfering" with officials and the judges' scorecards on his Twitter page by posting a number of images from last month's fight in Washington.
The Bolton fighter claimed the man talked to WBA supervisor Michael Welsh and interfered with the judges' scorecards.
However, when contacted by BBC Sport, Welsh refused to answer any questions about the mystery man or what was said.
"I want to know who this man is," Khan added on Sky Sports News.
"He had no accreditation. At the end of the fight he was straight over Peterson's people, celebrating with them.
"There were lots of amendments made on the scorecards, which I've never seen before. Why did it take so long to get the cards out?"
Khan's business manager, Asif Vali, said that they had written to the boxing authorities for explanations to several areas of concern.
"We did the table plan with Golden Boy Promotions and the WBA official was already in his seat and the IBF official was already in his seat, so who is this person?" he asked.
"What's he doing talking to the WBA? Why is he handling the slips?
"These are legitimate questions and if they give us sufficient reasons for it then I'll accept it. I want to see what the reasons are.
"We're not saying there is foul play involved in any way, shape or form. I just need the answers for the sequence of events that have taken place. Nothing else.
"I'm not accusing any of the bodies. Lamont Peterson is the champion and good luck to him for 2012."
My take is that Amir Khan is really stunned by the loss and he looking for excuses to try to explain it away. If there were people who thought there was wrongdoing or thought the scoring in the fight was off, they would have been screaming murder. That happens all the time with fights in the United States, regardless of the nationality of the fighters. There has been no such outcry here. Khan is really making himself look back. It's very flimsy what he's putting out to back up his claims
Khan's appeal against the controversial points decision to hometown fighter Peterson, which cost him his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles, will be held later this month.
The president of the WBA, Gilberto Mendoza, has told BBC Sport that he is examining Khan's Twitter allegations and will make a response to Khan's camp within the next 24 hours.
The IBF told BBC Sport that "with regards to the IBF master scorecard we can assure that it has not been tampered with".
Among a string of tweets, Khan alleged that the unidentified man started to "interfere" with Welsh in round six and continued to do so until the end of the fight.
He also claims that the man talked to Welsh and handled the scorecards, which were handed to Welsh at the end of each round, and that Welsh admitted after the fight that his scorecards did not match the others.
Last month Khan had told of his unhappiness with the performance of referee Joe Cooper - who deducted Khan two points for pushing - and alleged scorecard irregularities.
Khan's trainer, Freddie Roach, told BBC Sport he believes his charge "got screwed".
Roach said he wanted to see Cooper suspended from officiating future world title fights and that "the fight should 100% be looked into".

"I have no knowledge of any wrongdoing but it was unusual how long it took [for the scorecards to be tallied]," said Roach, Khan's trainer since 2008.
"Wrongdoing in boxing is always hard to prove but we got screwed in that fight. I hope something is done about it.
"I'd like to see the DC Boxing and Wrestling Commission look into the fight and I think the WBA and IBF - the sanctioning bodies - should be involved also."
Asked if his suspicions were aroused on the night, Roach said: "It goes through your mind [that there may be wrongdoing]. I mean, how hard can it be to add 12 rounds of boxing up?
"And Amir had two points deducted for pushing - the first time I've ever seen that."

Clashes erupted between the militants and groups inside the camp, with IS seizing control of large parts of the camp, reports said.
The UN says about 18,000 Palestinian refugees are inside the camp.
IS militants have seized large swathes of territory in eastern Syria and across northern and western Iraq.
But this is the group's first major attack near the heart of the Syrian capital.
Yarmouk residents told BBC Arabic that members of Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis, a group formed by Palestinian militiamen opposed to the Syrian government, were leading the fight against the IS militants, along with some Free Syrian Army fighters.
IS fighters had seized control of large parts of the camp, an official with the Palestine Liberation Organisation based in Damascus, and the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said.
There has been no official statement from IS about the move.
Unrwa, a UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, said in a statement that the fighting would place Yarmouk's civilians, including large numbers of children, "at extreme risk of death, serious injury, trauma and displacement".
It demanded an end to the fighting and "a return to conditions that will enable its staff to support and assist Yarmouk's civilians".
Analysis: Lina Sinjab, BBC News, Beirut
Members of the self-proclaimed Islamic State stormed into the southern side of Yarmouk camp in the early hours of the morning and clashed with the Palestinian brigade, Aknaf Beit al-Maqdis.
Reports suggest they came in from the area of Hajar al-Aswad in the south of the capital.
The Palestinian Ambassador to Damascus, Anwar Abdulhadi, told the BBC that the group had seized the area of the camp near the Palestine Hospital.
Most information is coming from Palestinian officials in areas under government control.
The attack comes days before a deal to ease the humanitarian situation for civilians in the camp was set to come into operation.
Desperation in Yarmouk
Story of the Syrian conflict
What is Islamic State?
Syria's bloody conflict, which has entered its fifth year, has claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Syrians.
The battle between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, rebels opposed to his rule and jihadist militants from Islamic State has also driven more than 11 million people from their homes.
The al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front captured the north-western city of Idlib from government forces on Saturday. It is only the second provincial centre to fall into rebel hands since IS seized Raqqa in March 2013.
Al-Nusra Front said on Wednesday that the city would now be ruled under Sharia, but that the group did not intend to monopolise power in the city.
Also on Wednesday, Jordan closed its only official border crossing with Syria due to fierce clashes between Syrian rebels and government troops.
Jordanian authorities said the Nasib border crossing, in the north of the country, had been closed as a preventative measure to protect travellers.
First built for Palestinians fleeing the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Yarmouk was once considered by many to be the de facto capital of the Palestinian refugee diaspora.
Prior to the Syrian civil war, it had more than 150,000 refugees living there, and its own mosques, schools and public buildings.
However, the camp has been besieged by fighting between government troops and rebel forces since 2012.
Unrwa says about 18,000 refugees remain trapped in the camp, with inadequate access to food supplies, clean water and electricity.
In March, Unrwa said: "The extreme hardship faced by Palestine refugees in Yarmouk, but also in other locations in Syria as a result of the armed conflict is, from a human point of view, unacceptable."

The 33-year-old has offered to continue as Test skipper on an interim basis to aid transition to a new captain.
In a statement on the Sri Lanka cricket website, Sangakkara said his decision was made "in the best long-term interests of the team".
"A new leader can be properly groomed for the 2015 World Cup," he added.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Sangakkara, who succeeded Mahela Jayawardene as captain in March 2009, is one of the most consistent players in world cricket, with an average of over 57 in 94 Tests and 38 in 291 one-day internationals.
He was one of the stars of the recent World Cup, scoring the third most runs (465), including 48 in their six-wicket final loss to co-hosts India in the final in Mumbai in Mumbai.
I have no plans of retirement from international cricket at this stage and subject to form and fitness I would like to be considered for selection in all three formats of the game for the foreseeable future
Sangakkara insisted his decision to resign the captaincy was made prior to the start of the World Cup.
"I will be 37 by the next World Cup and I cannot therefore be sure of my place in the team. It is better that Sri Lanka is led now by a player who will be at the peak of their career during that tournament," he continued.
"It has been a true honour and a great privilege to serve my country as captain during the past two years and, although bitterly disappointed that we could not win the final, I am very proud of the performances of the team.
"I met with the selectors yesterday and I explained my reasons for my decision and I assured them of my fullest support in helping our new captain settle into the leadership.
"In this regard, I have offered to continue as the Test captain for the forthcoming series with England [which starts in Cardiff on 26 May] and possibly Australia if the selectors believe this would help the new captain and aid the transition.

"I have no plans of retirement from international cricket at this stage and subject to form and fitness I would like to be considered for selection in all three formats of the game for the foreseeable future."
Eloquent and articulate, Sangakkara is seen as an excellent ambassador for his country, according to the BBC's Charles Haviland in Colombo.
He won warm acclaim for the grace with which he as captain accepted defeat to India in the World Cup final and for the praise he gave to Sri Lanka's victorious opponents.
All-rounders Tillakaratne Dilshan and Angelo Mathews are among those tipped to take charge of the limited-overs sides, while batsman Thilan Samaraweera is being discussed as an option to lead the Test team.

Felipe Flores was arrested in Iguala, in the southern state of Guerrero, where the incident happened.
The government says the students were arrested by police before being handed over to a drugs cartel who killed them and incinerated their bodies.
But families and independent experts contest this claim.
The panel of experts, working for the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, said the account that the students had been burnt beyond identification at a rubbish dump was physically impossible.
Felipe Flores was police chief of Iguala when the incident took place on 26 September 2014, and his arrest may offer new clues as to what exactly happened then.
Attorney General Arely Gomez welcomed Felipe Flores' capture, writing on Twitter that it would allow investigators to get "a fundamental statement to clear up the events".
The case has tainted President Enrique Pena Nieto's image.
The 43 were all students at an all-male teacher training college in the town of Aytozinapa, in south-western Guerrero state. The college has a history of left-wing activism and the students regularly took part in protests.
They disappeared from the nearby town of Iguala on the evening of 26 September 2014 after a confrontation between municipal police and the students during which six people were killed.
Independent forensic experts have matched charred bone fragments reportedly found at a rubbish dump near Iguala to Alexander Mora, one of the 43 missing students. They also say there is a high probability another set of remains could belong to Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz, another of the students. However, experts from the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights say the chain of evidence was broken and they could not be sure the bone fragments had been found at the dump.
According to the official report, the students were seized by corrupt municipal police officers who handed them over to members of a local drugs gang. The drugs gang mistook the students for members of a rival gang, killed them and burned their bodies at the dump before throwing their ashes into a nearby stream.
They think officials have failed to investigate the role soldiers from a nearby barracks may have played in the students' disappearance. The government has refused to let the soldiers, who were in the area at the time of the disappearance, be questioned by anyone but government prosecutors. The families also point to the report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights which said that there was no evidence the bodies of the 43 were burned at the dump.

The former police chief of the Mexican city where 43 students disappeared in 2014 has been detained after two years on the run, officials say.

The collection of more than 30,000 items, some dating back to 1850, have been donated by professional and amateur photographers.
The project, called Cornish Memory, received £225,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund which was used to create the website and digitise the media.
Organisers plan to add thousands more images over the coming months.
Manager Claire White said the project "relied heavily" on volunteers and the idea came from the fact that numerous collections were not accessible to the public.
She said: "We wanted to bring the various collections together to make it available.
"We started work on the project in 2012 and still have thousands to add."
Ms White said she was in conversation with the Heritage Lottery Fund for further grants and was searching for alternative funding to help pay for the project in the future.

Deputy Steve Luce has called on farmers and landowners to cut the use of fertiliser, which can increase nitrate levels, by up to 10%.
Nitrate is a form of nitrogen that is a natural part of soil and groundwater.
Long-term exposure to high levels of nitrate can cause stomach cancer, thyroid problems and blue baby syndrome.
Using fertilisers can increase levels and tests have shown nitrate levels in Jersey drinking water are higher than recommended.
In Jersey it is estimated about 4,000 homes with boreholes and wells have a water supply higher than the EU and Island limit of 50mg per litre for nitrates.
Levels in mains water, which has been treated, also regularly exceeded the limit in the last 14 years.
Deputy Luce said he was working with farmers and Jersey Water to tackle the problem but has also called on home owners to think twice before using fertiliser.
He said: "Private and public drinking water supplies, recreational water use, fisheries and shellfish production, and of course the 'green weed' problem are all affected by nitrate levels."
President of the Jersey Farmers' Union Graham Le Lay, said he would continue to work with the States in reducing nitrate levels.
He said: "The environment minister can rest assured that the Jersey Farmers' Union will continue to encourage and assist farmers in finding ways to reduce nitrate fertiliser use.
"We would urge him to take immediate steps to make all land users aware that they too have to reduce their use of both inorganic and organic fertilisers on their allotments, vegetable gardens and lawns."

Nitrate levels in Jersey's water need to be reduced, according to the environment minister.

He urged David Cameron "to end the pretence" of EU renegotiation and back an "out" vote at the referendum.
Dr Fox also said cabinet members should be able to campaign for an EU exit without having to resign - despite disagreeing with the prime minister.
But former Tory prime minister Sir John Major said it would be "extraordinary" if ministers chose to break ranks now.
Mr Cameron has promised to hold an in-out referendum on EU membership before the end of 2017.
The prime minister said on Friday the UK would "fundamentally change" its relationship with the EU in 2016, following talks with fellow leaders in Brussels.
But Eurosceptics say his demands are trivial and will not have any impact on levels of migration to the UK from elsewhere in Europe.
What does Britain want from Europe?
Cameron hints at 2016 referendum
Dr Fox told the Sunday Times the sight of Mr Cameron taking "the political begging bowl around European capitals" to secure only minor reforms should be enough to persuade people to back a "Brexit".
He also told the BBC's Andrew Marr show the recent decision to create a single EU-wide border force was a critical moment.
"This is a force that will be deployed by the [European] Commission, not by elected governments, and in fact, can be done against the will of sovereign governments.
"That for me is the clearest possible indication about the direction of travel of Europe and I can't accept that."
According to reports in several newspapers, some senior ministers are prepared to resign if they are not allowed to campaign to leave from inside the cabinet.
Dr Fox said individuals should be able "to express what's effectively a matter of conscience for them" without resigning.
"I think that the more that we're able to give freedom to our colleagues and treat one another's views with respect, the easier I think it will be for us to come together after that referendum to continue to govern to country."
But Sir John told the BBC it would be extraordinary if anybody decided to campaign against cabinet policy - at least until Mr Cameron had completed his negotiations.
"I would hope afterwards that they would not wish to, because the unity of the argument for the sake of the country is very important," he continued.
"This is bigger than the Conservative Party. People deserve to hear a clear-cut argument, not an internecine piece of party strife."
Steve Baker MP - co-chairman of campaign group Conservatives for Britain, which wants far-reaching EU reform - told Sky News there would be "something of a pantomime for several months" if ministers were forced to toe the line.
"I think it is inevitable that some members of the cabinet will feel they have to resign if they are browbeaten into supporting a deal this flimsy."
But pro-European former minister Ken Clarke told Sky News it was perfectly possible for different branches of the Conservative Party to have a "sensible" and "rational" debate.
"Euroscepticism is, I think, a euphemism for right-wing nationalism, but that doesn't mean I don't think that some of them are quite intelligent and sensible and perfectly nice right-wing nationalists."
Mr Cameron is demanding change on four issues, including stopping migrants from the EU from receiving in-work benefits in the UK until they have been in the country for four years.
Sir John said the renegotiation "embraces many of the things" Eurosceptics have long campaigned for, so it was "essentially bogus" to argue that the reforms were trivial.
He also questioned whether opting out of the EU would help reduce immigration.
"If we had control of our own borders I wonder what would happen to all the people who had got into Calais.
"Would the French keep them there, or would they say, 'This is no longer our problem?"
Sir John said it was "a fantasy" to believe the UK could become "a closed nation".
"Of course we will survive [if we leave]... the point is, would we be as safe? No. Would we be as well off? No. Would we be as influential? No."
There are currently two campaigns advocating exit: Leave.EU and Vote Leave.
Dr Fox said they must speak with a united voice and he would happily share a platform with UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
"I think it has to become a question of the issue and not a question of personalities."

Camp residents and aid workers were among those killed when the air force bombed Rann, in Borno state, thinking it was a base of Boko Haram militants.
It was the biggest known botched attack in eight years of fighting the group.
The Nigerian army says it is engaged in a "final push" against the Islamists.
Commanders have apologised for the "accidental" bombing, which they said was because of "the fog of war".
Human Rights Watch said this did not absolve them of responsibility, and called for compensation for the victims.
A local government official from the area, Babagana Malarima, said a mistake had been made when it was earlier reported that the number of those killed had risen to 236.
The error had been made by those in the camp settlement who had added the number of dead to the number of injured to come up with the figure, he told the BBC.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack last Tuesday, the medical charity MSF said 52 people had died.
The wounded were treated in an MSF tented clinic as there are no hospitals in Rann, where displaced people are living in makeshift shelters.
An aid worker told the BBC that the attack, in which at least two bombs were dropped, caused terror and chaos at the camp.
He said he saw dead children lying on the ground, others left as orphans and terrible injuries among survivors.
Aid workers estimated 20,000-40,000 people had been sheltering in Rann, near the border with Cameroon, after fleeing attacks by Boko Haram.
The emergency services official, who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity, said all those who had died at Rann had now been buried.
Those critically injured were still receiving treatment in the state capital, Maiduguri, while others were being treated locally by international aid agencies and local services.
The Red Cross has said it has distributed food to more than 25,000 people in Rann since Saturday.
It said they had received enough rice, beans, oil, salt and corn soya blend to last for five weeks.
"People in Rann were happy to receive food. They have been isolated by rains and poor quality roads since June and running very low on food supplies," said Red Cross economic security coordinator Mohammed Sheikh-Ali.
"At the beginning of January, we laid sand bags on the road for our trucks to be able to cross. We got 12 trucks full of food to Rann last week on the day of the air strike, which prevented us [from distributing]. As soon as medical evacuations were over, we organised the distribution with the help of the community."
Twenty aid workers from the Nigerian Red Cross were among the casualties in the air attack.

People placed candles and flowers in the snow in a makeshift memorial outside the La Loche Community School in Saskatchewan province, where two people were killed and seven were wounded.
A teacher's assistant who was killed was described as "a fantastic person".
Two teenagers were also shot dead by the gunman in a house.
A 17-year-old boy was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder on Saturday. Police said the male suspect cannot be named under Canada's Youth Criminal Justice Act.
It happened in the Dene aboriginal community of La Loche - the Dene are a First Nation group who inhabit the northern parts of Canada.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police Chief Supt Maureen Levy said the suspect was arrested outside the school.
Marie Janvier, an educational assistant, was identified by her boyfriend Deegan Park as one of those killed at the school.
He said: "She was that much of a great person to turn me right from all the wrongdoings I used to do. She was a fantastic person."
Ashton Lemaigre, a teaching colleague at the school, said Ms Janvier was hoping to get her teaching degree and she was very kind to the children.
"The kids loved having her around," said Ms Lemaigre. "They would just come running to her. And she was just a friend to everybody."
A second victim was identified as Adam Wood, a new teacher at the school.
His family in Ontario said he was an adventurer with a passion for life who made people laugh.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, when he heard the news.
"Obviously, this is every parent's worst nightmare," he said. "The community is reeling."
School shootings are rare in Canada, although one in 1989 at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique killed 14 women.
US ambassador to Canada Bruce Heyman offered his condolences.
"We have experienced similar tragedies far too often in the United States and understand all too well the heartache and sadness that result," he said.

Councillors had raised concerns about the project in Stranraer, prompting the investigation.
Auditors PWC found no evidence of staff acting "beyond delegated authority" or a failure to secure best value.
However, they listed a string of "key learning points" to help strengthen arrangements for future projects.
The report followed an internal investigation which delivered similar findings.
Local councillors had voiced concerns about changes in the specifications of the project with some claiming they had left the slipway "virtually useless".
They took their concerns to the council's monitoring officer who, in turn, contacted Audit Scotland.
PWC was subsequently appointed to carry out the best value review.
It found no rules or policies had been broken but that there were areas where project management arrangements "could have been better".
It listed a number of key learning points:
The review was based on key council documents, 18 committee reports and interviews with "key individuals" involved.

An external review of the handling of a slipway scheme in south west Scotland has found no council officers acted inappropriately or broke regulations.

David Burton, from club Aylestone Athletic, dislocated his knee in a game at Victoria Park in Leicester.
After waiting nearly an hour, players used the pub table and drove Mr Burton in a supporter's car. His injury will be reassessed in the coming days.
East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) said it had to prioritise cases.
Club captain Jonathan Hunt said they acted immediately after the injury on Saturday: "On calling for an ambulance we were informed that none were available.
"At the very least a rapid responder might have been useful to administer some pain relief.
"As it became clear that an ambulance was unlikely to attend any time soon and as Dave became colder and began to feel more pain, it was decided to move him ourselves to the Leicester Royal Infirmary, which is fortunately only about two miles from where we play."
Mr Hunt said they were not criticising the emergency services - and praised Mr Burton care in hospital - but were shocked at how stretched resources were.
Mr Burton said his injury would be assessed once swelling had gone down, but he did not expect to play again this season.
Mark Gregory, paramedic and general manager at EMAS, said: "We assess every 999 call to make sure we prioritise patients who are in a life-threatening emergency.
"Some patients are given advice to make their own way to hospital and we are pleased the rugby club were able to assist their player in doing so."
The British Red Cross has helped EMAS cope with demand, with the charity saying the situation was a "humanitarian crisis".

After a stuttering 7-33 win against Italy, Wales dominated much of the match against England, only to lose to Elliot Daly's 76th-minute try.
Jones' side travel to Murrayfield to face Scotland next, a fixture where they have not lost since 2003.
"The competitor in us would rather play again tomorrow," Jones said.
The skipper continued: "We've got two weeks to regroup. We feel we improved on the first weekend [against Italy], and we can only improve again.
"We've five minutes to work on, probably. I sound like a broken record. If you go back a few years, we were probably saying the same thing, but the vast majority of the performance was a vast improvement."

Wales struggled for much of the first half against Italy but put together a better team performance against England, but could not hold on to their lead as the visitors capitalised on Wales failing to put the ball into touch just before Daly touched down.
"I make no bones in saying it, we win as a team and we lose as a team, and we will improve as a team as well," Jones said.
"Improvement for everyone is pretty limitless. We improved from the Italy game, and we will continue to work to do that again."
The result was England's 16th successive win and means they have won both of their opening Six Nations games, after beating France, to go top of the table after two rounds.
Jones added: "We matched them with physicality, but ultimately we feel that we hurt ourselves in those last few minutes.
"They [England] were as good as we said they were before the start of the game.
"We were able to stop the momentum they had coming into the game - and in the game - for the majority, but winning is a habit and they are on a roll now. Unfortunately, we fell short."

Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones says they need to regroup during their Six Nations break after their late defeat by England on Saturday.

The Labour leader challenged the prime minister to intervene in the proposed deal.
He said if Mr Cameron did not "everyone will know he was acting as a cheerleader" for the deal.
Mr Cameron said the government would "back British jobs, British research and development and British science".
Referring to the Kraft takeover of Cadbury's under the last Labour government, Mr Cameron said ministers were actively engaging with both Pfizer and AstraZeneca, "because we know what happens when you stand back, just say you're opposed to everything - what you get is abject surrender and no guarantees for Britain".
Mr Miliband said Labour would back the government if it chose to widen the public interest test to include science and research and development (R&D).
He asked Mr Cameron: "Is he ruling out or ruling in the public interest test on this matter? We could make it happen. If he does not do it now everyone will know he was a cheerleader for the deal."
"I think it's deeply sad that he makes accusations about cheerleading when the government was getting stuck in protecting British jobs," the Prime Minister responded.
"They wrote the rules. They sold the gold, they saw manufacturing in our country decline by one half and we will never take lectures from the people who wrecked our economy."
The current public interest powers available to ministers allow them to intervene in takeover deals and mergers in a limited number of instances.
These include national security concerns, media company mergers and banks.
They do not give the government scope to address concerns about jobs or investment in research and development raised by the potential Pfizer takeover.
Earlier, Swedish finance minister Anders Borg told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that his country's experience of pledges from Pfizer had led him to be sceptical of the US firm.
"Our experience shows that their track record is not very convincing and I think one should take these kind of promises not only with a pinch of salt but a sack full of salt," he said.
"They are giving short-term commitments, but in the long term I think they are heavily orientated toward profitability, and not profitability through new research but profitability from cost cutting."
Mr Borg added: "I'm more worried that the Pfizer bid for AstraZeneca is much more driven by tax concerns.
"And we know when you see mergers and acquisitions you see a lot of failures and those that have been driven by tax logic, rather than business logic, tend to be even worse."
"So I think the proof here is really on Pfizer they must really show that this is really good for Swedish and British society.
"Society is investing heavily in life sciences. Therefore I think there is an obligation on Pfizer to show that they are ready to develop this," Mr Borg said.
Pfizer offered £63bn for the UK pharmaceutical giant on Friday.
If the deal were to go ahead, it would be the biggest takeover in UK corporate history.
The offer - the second Pfizer has made for AstraZeneca - was immediately rejected by the board of the UK pharmaceutical firm, which said Pfizer continued to "significantly undervalue" the company.
MPs are preparing to investigate the proposed takeover deal.
Two parliamentary select committees - the Business Select Committee and the Science and Technology committee - have said they intend to summon the bosses of both companies to answer questions.
AstraZeneca employs more than 51,000 staff worldwide, with 6,700 in the UK. Pfizer has a global workforce of more than 70,000, with 2,500 in the UK.

But in doing so made it clear Tay's views were a result of nurture, not nature. Tay confirmed what we already knew: people on the internet can be cruel.
Tay, aimed at 18-24-year-olds on social media, was targeted by a "coordinated attack by a subset of people" after being launched earlier this week.
Within 24 hours Tay had been deactivated so the team could make "adjustments".
But on Friday, Microsoft's head of research said the company was "deeply sorry for the unintended offensive and hurtful tweets" and has taken Tay off Twitter for the foreseeable future.
Peter Lee added: "Tay is now offline and we'll look to bring Tay back only when we are confident we can better anticipate malicious intent that conflicts with our principles and values."
Tay was designed to learn from interactions it had with real people in Twitter. Seizing an opportunity, some users decided to feed it racist, offensive information.
In China, people reacted differently - a similar chatbot had been rolled out to Chinese users, but with slightly better results.
"Tay was not the first artificial intelligence application we released into the online social world," Microsoft's head of research wrote.
"In China, our XiaoIce chatbot is being used by some 40 million people, delighting with its stories and conversations.
"The great experience with XiaoIce led us to wonder: Would an AI like this be just as captivating in a radically different cultural environment?"
The feedback, it appears, is that western audiences react very differently when presented with a chatbot it can influence. Much like teaching a Furby to swear, the temptation to corrupt the well-meaning Tay was too great for some.
That said, Mr Lee said a specific vulnerability meant Tay was able to turn nasty.
"Although we had prepared for many types of abuses of the system, we had made a critical oversight for this specific attack.
"As a result, Tay tweeted wildly inappropriate and reprehensible words and images. We take full responsibility for not seeing this possibility ahead of time."
He didn't elaborate on the precise nature of the vulnerability.
Mr Lee said his team will continue working on AI bots in the hope they can interact without negative side effects.
"We must enter each one with great caution and ultimately learn and improve, step by step, and to do this without offending people in the process.
"We will remain steadfast in our efforts to learn from this and other experiences as we work toward contributing to an Internet that represents the best, not the worst, of humanity."
Next week, Microsoft holds its annual developer conference, Build. Artificial intelligence is expected to feature heavily.

But the industry body warns future growth may be hit if the government does not maintain unrestricted access to markets in the European Union (EU).
The UK made 158,641 cars last month, 10.4% more than in June 2015.
The SMMT says the growth was driven by decisions to invest on the basis of demand from its biggest market, the EU.
"These decisions were based on many factors but, primarily, on tariff-free access to the single market, economic stability and record levels of productivity from a highly skilled workforce," said Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive.
There are signs from elsewhere that the auto sector in the UK is already being affected by the UK's vote to leave the EU.
Car dealer Inchcape has warned that the Brexit vote is expected to slow growth in UK new car registrations in the coming months.
"Ahead of the EU referendum, the second quarter new vehicle market growth rate moderated to 1% from 5.1% in the first quarter," it said. "We expect this moderation of the new vehicle market to persist into the second half of 2016."
Second quarter GDP data, released on Wednesday, was broadly positive but also highlighted the potential for a slowdown in manufacturing for the car industry and other manufacturing.
In April industrial production jumped 2.1% month-on-month, but then dropped 0.5% in May and rose only 0.2% in June.

The Dowler family was told shortly before the trial of her killer earlier this year that journalists had hacked into her phone and deleted messages.
Chief Constable Mark Rowley said he could not comment while the Met Police phone-hacking investigation continues.
He said he did not want to undermine the investigation.
On Wednesday, Milly's parents Bob and Sally, along with her sister Gemma, met Prime Minister David Cameron in Downing Street over the phone hacking claims.
They have also had meetings with Labour leader Ed Miliband and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg.
Speaking to BBC Surrey, Mr Rowley said: "I am not going to get into detail of who knew what, when.
"I am immensely frustrated about my inability to put all the facts out there.
"But I'm sure you'll understand I'm going to be very determined not to undermine the Metropolitan Police investigation."
Levi Bellfield was given a whole life tariff last month for murdering 13-year-old Milly, who was abducted from Walton-on-Thames in 2002.
Following the trial at the Old Bailey, Mr Rowley criticised the way the Dowlers were cross-examined.
He said he was "shocked" by their treatment and called for changes.

Anglian Water said a 6 ins (15cm) main had burst at about 12:45 GMT on Woodbridge Road East, near the Lattice Barn pub.
Its engineers were able to stop the leak onto the road by about 14:30 GMT.
Police had to direct traffic around the damaged road, while the water company said it would take two days to fully fix.
Antony Innes, from Anglian Water, said: "Unfortunately, the leak has caused damage to the road surface which will need fixing before the road can be reopened.
"We expect to have things back to normal by Wednesday morning, but will be doing all we can to put things right as soon as possible."
Mr Innes said the road would have to be closed in both directions from 18:00 GMT until the surface was repaired.
He said 30 houses had had their water restored and the rest should be back on later on Monday.

The US president's phone call contrasts with European concern that the result - 51.4% in favour of the changes - has exposed deep splits in Turkish society.
Mr Erdogan has rejected criticism from international monitors who said he had been favoured by an "unequal campaign".
The main opposition party is launching an appeal to invalidate the result.
The changes - due to be introduced before presidential and parliamentary elections in November 2019 - will turn Turkey into a presidential republic similar to the US and France. This could enable President Erdogan to stay in power until 2029.
His narrow victory was ruled valid by Turkey's electoral body, despite claims of irregularities by the opposition.
On Monday, Turkey extended the state of emergency for three months. The measure, introduced after a failed coup last July, was set to expire in two days.
The call from Donald Trump was pre-arranged and the focus was Syria - but the congratulations for President Erdogan's victory means the US president joins leaders from Qatar, Guinea, Djibouti and the Palestinian militant movement Hamas to voice the opinion, while those in Europe have been far more cautious.
It will delight Erdogan supporters, who will see it as legitimising the president's victory. But it will dismay opponents, after Mr Erdogan's fiery tirades against the West and the damning verdict of international observers.
It also exposes a split between the EU and US on Turkey: Mr Trump opting for realpolitik while Europe urges the unpredictable Turkish leader to reconcile a divided country.
And it will reiterate similarities between Presidents Trump and Erdogan on issues like democratic norms and press freedom - though the Turkish president has of course dealt with them in a far more extreme way.
Ultimately, President Trump was perhaps aiming to win favour in Ankara, given that the two sides have fundamental disagreements over Syria.
Syria is one of the issues straining relations between Washington and Ankara.
Turkey is irked by the policy started by the Obama administration of supporting Kurdish fighters in Syria who are fighting so-called Islamic State.
Turkey views the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as a terror group linked to Kurdish separatists waging an insurgency inside Turkey since 1984.
Turkey - a key Nato ally - has established closer co-operation with Russia recently.
The two sides are also at loggerheads over Fethullah Gulen. Turkey accuses the Pennsylvania-based cleric of orchestrating the failed coup and wants him extradited.
Officially Washington insists any decision on returning him to Turkey from the US remains a judicial rather than a political one.
Mr Trump's comments contrasted with a statement by the US state department which mentioned concerns by international observers and urged Turkey to respect the rights of its citizens - chiming with sentiment in European capitals.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that the "tight referendum result shows how deeply divided Turkish society is and that means a big responsibility for the Turkish leadership and for President Erdogan personally".
The European Commission issued a similar call.
Others expressed concern about the possibility of the return of capital punishment.
The French president's office warned that any referendum on reviving the death penalty would "obviously be a break with values and engagements" that Turkey had accepted in joining the Council of Europe. The president of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, tweeted his own concerns.
Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz went further. He said the referendum result was a "clear signal against the European Union". The "fiction" of Turkey's bid to join the bloc must be ended, Mr Kurz said.
Despite saying that the voting day was "well administered", the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe criticised the referendum campaign, and the Council of Europe said the vote "did not live up" its standards.
The monitors also criticised a late change by electoral officials that allowed voting papers without official stamps to be counted. But the head of Turkey's electoral body, Sadi Guven, said the unstamped ballot papers had been produced by the High Electoral Board and were valid. He said a similar procedure had been used in past elections.
But the Turkish Bar Association described the move as "illegal".
And Austrian MP Alev Korun - one of the Council of Europe observers - said "there is a suspicion that up to 2.5 million votes could have been manipulated" - which would have changed the result. She offered no evidence.
Mr Erdogan told supporters that Turkey did not "see, hear or acknowledge the politically motivated reports" of the monitors.
The result, he said, ended the debate on changing the constitution and creating an executive presidency, adding that the process of implementing the reforms would now begin.

He also said the country could hold a referendum on its long-stalled EU membership bid.
Additionally, Mr Erdogan said he would approve the death penalty if it was supported in a referendum or a bill was submitted to him through parliament. This would end Turkey's EU negotiations.

Writer and illustrator Dick Bruna died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday night in the Dutch city of Utrecht.
He created the much loved character in 1955 as a story to entertain his young son. More than 80 million Miffy books have been sold globally.
Over the years, Bruna wrote more than 100 books but Miffy was by far his most popular and enduring character.
At first, he was uncertain whether the rabbit was a boy or a girl, but settled the matter by putting her in a dress for the sixth book, Miffy's Birthday, in 1970.
Dick Bruna was all about doing more with less. Economy of line was the key behind the much loved Miffy character.
Through only a few simple shapes, heavy graphic lines and primary colours, Bruna was able to capture and convey a huge amount of personality and character.
Miffy delights adults and children alike and we hope that her innocent and loving personality will continue to resonate - she is such a great example of the universal language of illustration.
In the Netherlands, she is called Nijntje ("little rabbit" as a Dutch toddler might say it). It was her first English translator, Olive Jones, who christened her Miffy.
Bruna was still writing Miffy stories in his old age and his books have been translated into more than 50 languages.
The museum dedicated to her name in Utrecht has tweeted a picture of the white rabbit, arms behind her back, a single tear below her left eye.
Dutch publisher Marja Kerkhof told the AP news agency that he used "very clear pictures, almost like a pictogram".
She said his illustrations were often best characterised by what he left out, allowing him "to go to the essence of things" while simultaneously using "very strong powerful primary colours".
"Even today if you see it in a store you would think, 'hey this looks different to a lot of other things out there'," she said. "There is no clutter, it's all very clear."

The Dutch creator of Miffy the cartoon rabbit has died aged 89, his publishers have announced.

Alinda Capital Partners - a US firm that specialises in infrastructure - will pay 325m euros ($441m, £282m).
The deal will boost Ferrovial's accounts. It cuts the Spanish owner's stake in BAA to 49.99%, meaning it no longer has to include the UK firm's debts on its balance sheet.
The deal puts a much higher value on BAA than analysts had expected.
"This sale is in line with our strategy to establish a market valuation of our assets," said Ferrovial chief executive Inigo Meiras.
The transaction values BAA - which operates Heathrow, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Southampton airports - at £4.8bn.
That was more than double consensus, according to news agency Reuters, and news of the sale sent Ferrovial's share price more than 5% higher in morning trading.
However, it is still considerably lower than the £10.3bn valuation at which Ferrovial originally bought BAA in 2006.
BAA's value had been damaged by a decision by the UK's Competition Commission that BAA's dominance of air traffic into and out of Scotland and London was unacceptable.
This had already forced BAA's sale of Gatwick Airport, with Stansted and one of Edinburgh and Glasgow set to follow.
By reducing its ownership of BAA to a fraction below 50%, Ferrovial also no longer needs to consolidate its UK subsidiary into its accounts - meaning that it no longer has to include BAA's debts as part of its own.
The accounting rule means that Ferrovial's reported debts will fall by almost three-quarters, from 19.75bn to 5.2bn euros.
However, Ferrovial's remaining stake still leaves it as by far the biggest single investor in BAA, with effective control over the firm.
The Spaniards had been openly seeking a buyer for up to 10% of BAA for a year.
The infrastructure company said the sale proceeds would be used to fund other investments.

Spanish infrastructure firm Ferrovial has sold 5.9% of Heathrow Airport-operator BAA to an investment fund.

There's little doubt this year will be the most lucrative on record in terms of grosses and ticket sales. The question now is whether 2016 has enough in its locker to match it.
The answer? Probably not - though there are still more than enough so-called "tentpole" releases to keep exhibitors, distributors and cinema chains comfortably out of the poorhouse.
In terms of box-office behemoths, it's hard to look beyond 25 March and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the eagerly anticipated, long-delayed face-off between the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel.
With Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor also along for the ride, Zack Snyder's film is a powerful statement of intent from DC Comics, who also have Suicide Squad - a vehicle for its potent stable of comic-book villains - lined up for a 5 August release.
Marvel Entertainment, DC's fiercest rival, will be hoping its lucky streak continues with Captain America: Civil War (29 April), especially with the new Spider-Man - teenaged Brit Tom Holland - joining the ranks of the all-conquering Avengers.
They will also be hoping the same audiences who flocked to see Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man will be just as happy to watch Benedict Cumberbatch cast spells in Doctor Strange (28 November) in the Sherlock star's new guise as the so-called "Sorcerer Supreme".
With additional outings for vigilante Deadpool (4 February), mutant card-sharp Gambit (7 October) and the rest of the latter's brethren in X-Men: Apocalypse (19 May), comic-book aficionados will be more than sated over the next 12 months.
As this year's Fantastic Four reboot showed, though, superhero films are no longer a sure thing - especially in a marketplace where they are increasingly becoming the rule rather than the exception.
On the subject of the fantastic, you might already be aware of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (18 November), a return to the Harry Potter universe that will introduce Eddie Redmayne as curious wizard Newt Scamander.
Warner Bros are so confident of the spin-off's success that it has already green-lit two sequels, set for release in 2018 and 2020 respectively.
Star Wars will have a spin-off of its own in December with the release of Rogue One, a prequel of sorts that will dramatise events briefly referred to in the 1977 film that started the franchise.
For those who prefer their sequels a little less brain-taxing, the year will also see returns for Ben Stiller's Derek Zoolander (19 February), Renee Zellweger's Bridget Jones (16 September), Matt Damon's Jason Bourne (29 July), and the crew of the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek Beyond (22 July).
Sequels, it appears, come in all shapes and sizes, be they pugilistic (Rocky continuation Creed, 15 January), dystopian (The Divergent Series: Allegiant, 11 March), phantasmagorical (Alice Through the Looking Glass, 27 May) or belated (Independence Day: Resurgence, 24 June).
The world of animation, meanwhile, has sequels of its own in the form of Kung Fu Panda 3 (11 March), Ice Age: Collision Course (15 July) and Pixar's Finding Dory (29 July).
This will be a year, in short, in which pretty much every multiplex-bound title seeking to separate us from our hard-earned will have some form of brand awareness or pre-existing cultural association.
These days you can make a movie out of anything, from a computer game (Angry Birds, Assassin's Creed) to a TV series (Absolutely Fabulous, Dad's Army) to - whatever next? - a classic or best-selling novel (The Jungle Book, The Girl on the Train).
You can even make a new movie by re-tooling an old one. Witness the conspicuously Keanu Reeves-less Point Break (12 February), the all-female Ghostbusters (15 July) and Disney's new version of Pete's Dragon (12 August).
Then again, if they can remake Ben Hur (12 August) and The Magnificent Seven (23 September), they can virtually remake anything.

From Star Wars to Spectre to Jurassic World, the box-office tills in 2015 have rarely stopped a-chinging.

The warrants are for the Benin Football Federation (FBF) executive committee and a Caf observer who attended federation elections on 10 June.
All ignored a court injunction ordering the suspension of FBF elections, which went ahead in June despite the directive.
Football's world governing body says if the "decisions in question are not withdrawn by 18 July, the case will be referred to the Bureau of the Fifa Council, for it to take the appropriate decision."
Fifa disapproves of external interference in the running of a football association, having banned various countries in the past for such an offence.
The elections were held in the presence of Omari, with the DR Congo FA president acting as a Fifa observer, and his Ivorian counterpart Sidi Diallo, who represented the Confederation of African Football.
Holding the elections meant a ban from global football imposed by Fifa in May was lifted and allowed Benin to play a postponed Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Equatorial Guinea.
Benin won that match 2-1 to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for January's finals in Gabon from Group C.
The Fifa ban had been imposed after an earlier court ruling but stipulated the sanction could be lifted when elections had been held.
Anjorin Moucharafou was voted in as president once again by the 40 of the 42 delegates present.
His election went ahead despite a court having ruled it should be delayed indefinitely after it upheld a complaint by 20 of the country's football clubs.
The clubs argued that the current normalisation committee running the sport in the country had violated the statutes of FBF.
Fifa has warned Benin over the arrest warrants issued in the country for several key officials.

Elin Jones said the party's three point "Cancer Contract", would help give the NHS the "fundamental change" it needed.
The plans renewed a pledge that patients would get a cancer diagnosis or the all clear within 28 days.
Welsh ministers warned the policy could result in patients being misdiagnosed or waiting longer for treatment.
In October, 81% of patients diagnosed with cancer began treatment within 62 days, well below the 95% target and down from 85.6% in September.
In December, Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething announced 100-day plans had been drawn up by health boards to improve cancer services and waiting times.
On Tuesday, Ms Jones said Labour ministers had not met their own performance targets for the NHS over the past five years.
"We think there needs to be fundamental change there, and that's why we're putting forward interesting and radical proposals for the future of the NHS," she told BBC Wales.
Plaid also promised a "new treatments fund" would improve access to new cancer drugs "based on what your doctor prescribe not your postcode", as well as one-to-one support for all patients before, during and after cancer treatment.
A Welsh government spokesman said: "The majority of people diagnosed with cancer are diagnosed within the first half of the 62-day pathway but the length of time to diagnosis can vary for clinical reasons - lung cancers can be very difficult to diagnose, for example.
"We would reject any idea that would potentially lead to patients being misdiagnosed, not being diagnosed at all to meet a new target or any proposal that would lengthen the time patients wait to start treatment."
The Welsh Conservatives accused Plaid Cymru of producing a "pale imitation" of their Cancer Patients Fund.

The future of the Welsh NHS will be Plaid Cymru's "top priority" in May's assembly election, its health spokeswoman has said.

No-one was injured in the incident which took place at about 11:20 on Saturday but numerous wagons derailed and the track was damaged.
The line, which was closed for the weekend for engineering work, could remain shut for two weeks.
It is believed one of the trains ran into the back of the other.
A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "At about 11.20am on Saturday, 1 August, we were called following reports of a collision on the line near to Logan, East Ayrshire.
"Our officers attended and discovered two engineering trains had collided. As a result of the collision a seven wagons and one engine derailed, with some travelling down onto the embankment.
"Fortunately no-one was injured as a result of the collision or derailment, but the tracks have been significantly damaged and the line, which is the main Glasgow to Dumfries route, is expected to be affected for several days.
"At this stage the incident is not being treated as suspicious and the Rail Accident Investigation Branch has been informed."
A spokesman for track owner Network Rail told BBC Scotland that a crane was being brought in to remove the wagons.
He said this would take about 10 days and early indications were that it would then take about three days to repair the track.
The Network Rail spokesman said: "At the time of the incident the line was closed for engineering work and there was no public risk."
Train operator ScotRail Alliance said: "We apologise to customers affected by the disruption. Replacement buses have been arranged to minimise the impact and specialist engineers are working to reopen the line as quickly as possible."

Two trains carrying ballast for engineering work have collided on the track near Cumnock in Ayrshire, Network Rail has said.

The health and safety ban in Severn View, Garndiffaith, near Pontypool, came after a postman complained.
But Royal Mail said it would reinstate deliveries to two of the 10 houses after a "further safety assessment".
It has also proposed installing external mailboxes to the rear of the other eight properties.
"If they are willing to do something to help residents, I can't complain," said local county councillor Gwyneira Clark.
"I wouldn't want to jeopardise health and safety.
"But would like to be there with the residents and a representative from the post office before they action any alternative post boxes."
Royal Mail initially said a short stretch of grass between car tracks and residents' front doors was unsafe so the 10 homes needed to collect mail from a local Post Office.
"We apologise to residents at Severn View for the continued disruption to their mail service," a Royal Mail spokesman said on Friday.

Post deliveries will be reinstated to a row of properties in Torfaen after Royal Mail said walking on a grass verge was "too dangerous".

Batting first, the previously unbeaten Black Caps raced to 89-1 after 10 overs, with Colin Munro blasting 46.
But England came back superbly to restrict them to 153-8, with Ben Stokes taking three wickets at the death as New Zealand scored just 20 off their last four overs.
Jason Roy hit a 44-ball 78 as England reached the target in 17.1 overs.
Eoin Morgan's side will play West Indies or India in Kolkata on Sunday.
Making it to the final completes a remarkable turnaround from last year's World Cup, where England were humiliatingly knocked out in the group stages, while New Zealand reached the final.
But England women were unable to win their semi-final, falling to a five-run defeat by Australia earlier in the day.

Coming into this tournament, Roy averaged just 13 from eight T20 international innings and had never passed 30, and he was under pressure for his place after a poor limited-overs campaign against South Africa.
But the 25-year-old Surrey batsman is now the third-highest run-scorer in the tournament after surely his finest innings in an England shirt.
Roy savaged the New Zealand bowlers from the off, taking Corey Anderson for four fours from his first over, and never looked back.
Brutal on the pull and off-driving powerfully, he hit a total of 13 boundaries before he was bowled by Ish Sodhi.

At the halfway stage in New Zealand's innings, England had conceded 12 fours and two sixes and were looking at a chase in excess of 200.
But they fought back quite brilliantly, as first spin and then outstanding death bowling from the seamers slowed the New Zealand juggernaut to a virtual halt.
Moeen Ali had been smashed for 32 runs from his two overs against Sri Lanka, but here he wrested control, dismissing the fluent Kane Williamson with a brilliant return catch and conceding just 10 runs from his two overs.
Corey Anderson and Ross Taylor steered New Zealand to 133-3 after 16 overs, but from there Stokes and Chris Jordan destroyed their hopes of a good total.
Jordan, consistently hitting a perfect yorker length, had Taylor caught at extra cover, while Stokes accounted for Anderson, Luke Ronchi and Mitchell Santner, all caught on the boundary.
New Zealand managed just one boundary in the last four overs - the least expensive ever bowled by England in a T20 international.
New Zealand entered the match having won all four of their group matches, and 12 of their last 13 in global tournaments.
But - just as in the World Cup final, when they froze at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - they appeared to be undone by a change of location, as they failed to adapt from the low-scoring conditions in which they had played their previous games to Delhi's more batsman-friendly track.
The Black Caps had defended scores of 126, 142 and 145 earlier in the tournament, but England had broken the back of the chase in amassing 49-0 by the time Williamson turned to his leading wicket-taker Mitchell Santner after four overs.
New Zealand's defeat means that they miss out on a first World Twenty20 final, and ensures that the record of no side ever having won the tournament undefeated will continue.
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I don't think it could have been much better. Maybe we would have liked to start better with the ball, but we did well to peg it back.
"Making a final is the kind of thing you dream of as a kid. Everyone in the dressing room has worked tremendously hard and made a lot of sacrifices to put us in this position.
"A lot of things have gone our way and we have earned the right to play the way we do and we hope it can be our day in the final."
England batsman Jason Roy: "There is no better feeling. The joy on everyone's faces was special and something that will stay very close to my heart for rest of my career.
"Again, Jordan and Stokes were outstanding. They practice their skills more than I have ever seen someone practice, so it is so good to see them reaping their rewards on the pitch. We're in the final, and we will take on whoever."
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson: "Credit to the England bowlers for the way they pulled it back.
"I knew we were a bit short in our total but we were beaten by the better team, who bowled better than us and came out and batted very aggressively. We weren't able to stem their runs and it was a fantastic knock from Jason Roy."

England powered into their second World Twenty20 final as they hammered New Zealand by seven wickets in Delhi.

As teams of officers prepare for a street festival in Brixton, the south London suburb that is one of the hearts of black Britain, a commanding officer says the last image he wants to see that day is a cop in a confrontation with a black youth.
As the camera pans around the briefing room, there is a sea of white faces.
Given that London's population is incredibly diverse and drawn from all continents, the pictures on the television screen don't sit too well with the idea that the police are supposed to represent the society they are policing.
The five-part series The Met has been some 18 months in the making.
Four BBC teams were given open access to the force's units, other than counter-terrorism for security reasons and royal and diplomatic protection on privacy grounds.
One of the most important characters in episode one is Ch Supt Victor Olisa, the borough commander for Haringey.
As an inquest jury decides that armed police lawfully shot dead Mark Duggan in 2011 - a death that triggered that year's riots - you can see his face drop as the dead man's family warn there will be no peace.
When he leaves the police station to talk to a growing and angry crowd, he is accused of being a stooge - a black man put in charge of a difficult problem just to stop black people complaining. In the video above you can see him being challenged by a journalist who questions whether he has the trust of Tottenham.
Ch Supt Olisa says the organisation is at a crossroads - and this first episode of The Met tries to capture that tension: will the Met be able to transform itself into an organisation that commands the trust of all Londoners, rather than just some?
For decades, the Met was the career of choice for the capital's traditional white working-class communities.
But those types of officers in those numbers are representative of a city that has gone. While almost nine out of 10 of the force's officers are white - more than a third of the capital isn't. People born abroad (a different measure of ethnicity to skin colour) are in the majority in at least four of the capital's boroughs. Only 6% of the Met's senior officers, ranked inspector or above, are from a minority background.
As Northern Ireland knows to its cost, when a police force isn't drawn from all of the community it is empowered to police, sometimes with the use of force, trust is hard to come by.
The relationship between the Met and minorities in London reached rock bottom in 1999 when the damning Macpherson Inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence branded the force institutionally racist.
Speaking at the launch of the BBC's series, the Met's commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, said that if people thought that the force was still institutionally racist, then he had to take that on the chin.
But while he says he is trying to change the culture of the force, he knows that he also has to change its face.
Scotland Yard has outsourced some of the stages of recruitment to ensure senior officers don't keep recruiting people who look the same as them. It has offered interest-free loans to help poorer applicants to complete a special pre-entry policing exam and, critically, introduced a London residency test.
Applications from minorities have gone up - not least thanks to a huge PR drive - and as these recruits enter the lower ranks, and older white officers retire, the force will move closer to representing what London looks like today.
But Sir Bernard says the Met cannot transform itself as quickly as London is continuing to change.
As the force's budget falls with forthcoming public spending cuts, the number of new officers the commissioner can recruit will correspondingly fall.
In short, argues the commissioner, the Met needs exceptional help. He wants legislation for a one-off time-limited recruitment exercise that will force rapid change.
Such laws have had a dramatic effect on both the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the New York Police Department.
The system that Sir Bernard wants for London is simple. If an applicant passes the entry exams, they go into a recruitment pool. When there are the widest possible spectrum of candidates available in the pool, they all join the force at the same time.
In other words, there would be no exclusion of white applicants, simply a mechanism to ensure a better balance of new constables as posts become available.
The commissioner's proposals are backed by the London Assembly - but it's ultimately for the home secretary and Parliament to decide whether he gets what he wants.
The Met: Policing London begins at 21:00 BST on Monday on BBC One and is then available on the iPlayer.

It saw annual profits halve to $16.2bn, from $32.5bn in 2014.
Exxon Mobil's results come after rivals Chevron and BP both reported large losses for the fourth quarter.
Oil prices fell sharply on Tuesday, with Brent crude down 5.3% to $32.42.
Crude oil prices have dropped about 70% from the 2014 high of more than $100 a barrel.
Oil companies have been trying to cut costs and investments in new projects as they adjust to the sustained fall in prices.
Exxon says its capital spending will be about $23.2bn in 2016, a cut of 25% compared with 2015.
Upstream earnings, which means exploration and production, slumped to $857m in the fourth quarter compared with $4.6bn during the same time last year.
Lower commodity prices in the upstream section of the business were partly offset by higher downstream earnings.
Downstream earnings, which mean refined oil products, were $1.4bn, up $854m from the fourth quarter of 2014.

US oil giant Exxon Mobil has said its profits fell 58% to $2.78bn (£1.93bn) in the three months to the end of December, compared with $6.57bn for the same period a year earlier.

Openers Lauren Winfield and Tammy Beaumont put on 108 in 75 balls but four wickets in the final four overs pegged England back to 170-5.
Pakistan never looked like chasing down that total, however, and England were helped by a strong fielding display.
Debutant Alex Hartley picked up two wickets as England secured a 57-run victory.
The result means Pakistan have not won a game on this tour in a strong start for Heather Knight as captain, who has seen her young England team play with confidence.
Winfield and Beaumont continued their fine form, as their first-wicket stand took their partnership total for the six-match series to 791 runs.
The pair played aggressively with Winfield taking the lead, making a half-century from 33 balls and striking a towering straight six before being stumped by Sidra Nawaz.
Pakistan came back into the game at the end, with Saida Yousaf taking a stunning overhead catch to dismiss Knight on the boundary as England's middle order stumbled through their final overs.
However, it was always going to be tough for a Pakistan side that has struggled with the bat throughout the tour and England's fielding put them under pressure from the start.
Natasha Farrant took an easy return catch to dismiss Nahia Khan and, despite the odd loose delivery, England's quick fielding - so improved from the Ashes series last year - kept Pakistan in check.
Although the Pakistan middle order showed some fight with some well-timed boundaries, wickets fell quickly and good catching from Fran Wilson and Danni Wyatt, as well as a superb run-out from Wyatt, helped England preserve their 16-year unbeaten record at Chelmsford.

The German government has not confirmed the new estimate, which comes from an internal official report cited by popular daily Bild.
The report warns that services helping refugees will not be able to cope.
Separately, a centre-right regional minister put the expected total at 1.2-1.5 million for this year.
The German government previously estimated the number of asylum claims this year to reach 800,000 to one million in total.
Many are refugees fleeing the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, but there are also many economic migrants from the Balkans, Asia and Africa.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres has warned that Europe, in dealing with the migration crisis, is engaged in a "battle of compassion versus fear, and of tolerance versus xenophobia".
Speaking in Geneva, he said the world was facing the highest levels of forced displacement in recorded history and the principle of asylum must remain sacrosanct.
He urged Europe to defend "its founding values of tolerance and openness by welcoming refugees of all religions".
The leaders of Hungary and Slovakia have said the influx of Muslims is a challenge to Europe's "Christian" identity.
The Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is to meet EU leaders in Brussels shortly to discuss the Syria crisis, which has fuelled an exodus of Syrians to the EU via Turkey.
Greek islands near the Turkish coast are overburdened with migrants, many of them Syrians determined to reach Germany. The crisis has strained EU relations with Turkey, a mainly Muslim country.
Can Turkey help solve EU migrant crisis?
On Sunday several thousand Germans opposed to mass immigration demonstrated in two eastern towns - Plauen and Sebnitz - after a call to action by the anti-Islamic Pegida movement.
Pegida (Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West) has staged regular anti-immigration marches across Germany.
The migrant influx is stretching resources in many German cities, including Hamburg, where empty commercial properties can now be seized in order to house migrants.
There is growing political pressure on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who continues to defend her open-door refugee policy. Germany can manage, the chancellor insisted at the weekend.
But many politicians - including her conservative Bavarian CSU allies and various EU partners - have criticised the policy.
The Interior Minister of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania region, Lorenz Caffier, gave an estimate of 1.2-1.5 million asylum claims for this year.
But federal Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said it was very hard to give accurate figures. Some refugees either avoided registration or moved elsewhere after being registered in one place, he said.
In 2014 the national total for asylum claims was 202,000.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

The number of people seeking asylum in Germany this year will be as high as 1.5 million - almost double the previous estimate, German media report.

Cars were burned in Moirans as dozens of protesters vented their anger at a judge's decision to deny a young man leave to attend his brother's funeral.
Mr Valls condemned the "unacceptable violence" and demanded "extreme firmness" in dealing with rioters.
No-one was hurt in the violence but the disruption halted local train services.
The railway line at Moirans between Grenoble and Lyon was cut and a main road in the Isere area was also blocked by burning cars.
The prime minister said those involved would be pursued relentlessly.
The funeral went ahead on Wednesday afternoon, reports said, days after the young man was killed in a crash involving a stolen car. Two other people died in the accident.
Adele Vinterstein, whose son died in the crash told news channel iTele she simply wanted her other son to be at his brother's funeral.
But repeated legal attempts to enable him to leave prison temporarily were turned down, with or without an escort.
"I just don't understand why they won't let him out. He's not a paedophile, he's not a thief, he's not a killer. My son's not a dog," Ms Vinterstein told reporters. "It was his right to say goodbye to his brother and give him a final kiss."
She appealed for an end to the violence, saying that burning cars did not help.
The riot came less than two months after another traveller community in northern France blocked a motorway, when authorities refused to temporarily release the son of a shooting victim to attend his father's funeral.
In France around 400,000 people are officially classed as travellers and Roma (Gypsies), but the number is believed to be far higher.

It marks a new era after the referendum on direct law-making powers in devolved areas including health and education.
The Queen said the assembly had a "well deserved reputation for diligence and competence".
Presiding Officer Rosemary Butler and First Minister Carwyn Jones welcomed her to the Senedd.
Addressing assembly members in the Senedd, the Queen, said the assembly was there to represent Wales and its people, make the laws for Wales and hold the government of Wales to account.
She said the assembly had "coped admirably" with the growth in its powers since devolution, and had a "well deserved reputation for diligence and competence."
The opening of the fourth assembly "marks a significant development in the future of devolution in Wales".
The Queen said the "vital functions of democracy" now rested on the shoulders of the assembly members and much would be expected of them.
She added: "You are now entrusted with the authority to make laws in all matters contained within the 20 subjects devolved to the assembly and, for the first time, you will be passing assembly acts.
"The performance of the assembly in discharging these new responsibilities will be closely scrutinised here in Wales and elsewhere."
Carwyn Jones called it an "important new beginning" and said it was a great honour to be first minister and serve the people of Wales.
He said: "There are challenges ahead, and difficult decisions between competing choices will have to be made, but this is fundamentally a time of optimism for Wales. We have the powers to make a difference."
Mr Jones said his government would "work night and day" to help improve public services, to protect the vulnerable, to educate and prepare our young people for work, "to promote our industry at home and abroad, to do all we can to make Wales healthier and more prosperous."
The Queen went on to have a lunch of Welsh lamb at the nearby Wales Millennium Centre.
By Betsan PowysBBC Wales' political editor
We've seen The Queen today opening what is, in all but name, a proper Welsh parliament.
In the past, she's opened an assembly with limited law-making powers.
Now, they've been given the tools, as they said, to do the job.
The Queen is, therefore, opening an institution that can get on and forge its own path through these laws that it will start to pass.
There was no reference to Westminster, the responsibility lies here.
We can also look forward to much more drama, potentially, when it comes to that law-making process, thanks to the knife-edge election result in May.
Labour will have to haggle and compromise to get its policies into law much more than in the days of the huge majority afforded to it as a result of the coalition with Plaid Cymru.
It's going to be a very interesting five years of the fourth assembly - the key for both ministers and the assembly itself is what difference Wales will see when it's over.
A fly-past of four Hawks from 208(R) Squadron RAF Valley on Anglesey in Gwynedd took place.
Fanfares at the Senedd were performed by brass and percussion students from the Royal College of Music and Drama.
After the royal opening, the Queen and other royal visitors met guests in the assembly's Neuadd (public space).
Royal harpist Claire Jones, from Crymych, Pembrokeshire, performing before a pre-lunch reception at the Wales Millennium Centre where the royal guests met AMs.
Plaid Cymru leader Ieuan Wyn Jones did not attend the Royal opening. A party spokesman said he was still on half-term leave and would not return to work until next week.
The party's AM Jocelyn Davies replaced him in the line-up of party leaders greeting the Queen.
But his absence was criticised by Labour as "completely disrespectful" and "extremely disappointing" by the Conservatives.
Four Plaid Cymru AMs had already signalled they would not be attending: Leanne Wood, Bethan Jenkins and Lindsay Whittle and Llyr Huws Gruffydd.
Plaid's new North Wales regional AM Mr Gruffydd went to homeless charity Shelter Cymru, and Ms Wood and Mr Whittle were attending a Cardiff Bay Republican Day event.
Ms Wood said it was the third time she would not attend a royal opening of the assembly.
"My wish is for Wales to become a modern, independent country, and I cannot see any place for an outdated concept like the monarchy within it."
Ms Jenkins said she would spend the day talking to businesses in Bridgend about the economic downturn.
"I define myself as a republican so I don't believe the royal family represent what I believe in as a Welsh citizen," she said.
"I respect the people who are attending but I decided to carry on my work as an assembly member and try to represent the people of my area to the best of my abilities."
But their Plaid Cymru colleague and former presiding officer Lord Elis-Thomas said it was right that The Queen should take part in an historic day, opening an assembly which now has direct law-making powers.
He said it was a recognising the "new democracy of Wales", an occasion as significant as the state opening of parliament at Westminster.
"It's our day - a day for celebrating Wales within the UK constitution," he said.
"We live within a parliamentary constitution which has a monarchical structure - if people want to have a debate about whether there should be a republic and we had a referendum, there's no question about which way I would vote."
The Senedd's new Presiding Officer, Rosemary Butler, AM, told BBC Radio Wales afterwards that she faced a "very interesting task" in steering the members forward to make sure its new powers were used "for the people of Wales".
She added that the debating style of the AMs in Cardiff was different to MPs in Westminster.
She said she was confident that all the political parties would work together and if there is "confrontation" then she will "have to be more strict".
There was also room to "communicate better" with the people of Wales about the Senedd's work, she added.
The reception at the Wales Millennium Centre was used to showcase new and established Welsh talent, including choir Only Men Aloud.
Personnel from No. 4 School of Technical Training, based at MoD St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan, took part in parade duties with members of the Air Training Corps from around Wales.
A referendum in March gave assembly members the right to make laws for Wales in 20 devolved areas without requiring the permission of the UK Government.
The queen opened the assembly with Labour in government but without an outright majority.
The party won 30 of the 60 seats in May's elections.
The assembly has developed ceremonial elements of previous royal openings by engaging the Wales Herald, the Honourable Thomas Lloyd, and enhancing the role of the Macebearer, David Melding AM.
The Wales Herald takes part in occasions such as the State Opening of Parliament.
The mace is the symbol of the royal authority by which the assembly makes laws.
Ahead of Tuesday's royal visit, a ceremony entitled the Celebration of the Mace took place at the Senedd.
It emphasised the need for greater understanding between different sectors of society.

The Court of Appeal rejected a challenge on whether officers could confer before a court case involving a fatality at the hands of police.
Mr Duggan was shot by police in north London in August 2011 in Tottenham.
The 29-year-old's death sparked riots in the area, which then spread to other cities in England.
The case was brought by his mother Pamela Duggan and relatives of Rafal Delezuch, who died after being restrained by Leicestershire Police officers in 2012.
Duggan family lawyers argued the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) was operating a policy of allowing officers to confer which was inconsistent with the stance of the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
Lord Justice Moore-Bick, Lord Justice Richards and Lord Justice Tomlinson said the IPCC had decided that key officers involved in a death should normally be separated from one another and not allowed to confer.
The three judges said "the risk of collusion" after an incident involving police "cannot be avoided altogether", but new guidance, issued by ACPO this year, went "a long way" towards reducing the risk, but they added that the document was "imperfect" lacking clarity and precision.
They said they were particularly concerned about two aspects of the guidance: allowing officers to remain together at the scene of an incident and as they travelled back to a police station, and the "unsupervised interval" between writing their initial accounts of what had happened and a detailed version up to 48 hours later.
"The less that is said... the greater is the scope for contamination of the detailed account by reason of intervening collusion," they said.
Lord Justice Richards added: "The IPCC has asserted its independence in issuing draft guidance that differs materially from the 2014 guidance.
"If it proceeds to issue statutory guidance, whether in that or in revised form, chief officers will have to take due account of it and consideration will no doubt have to be given to whether the 2014 guidance should be brought into line with it."
That was "for the future", said the judge.
The judges dismissed the appeals and refused permission to take the case to the Supreme Court.
The Duggan challenge was launched after Ms Duggan lost her High Court battle to overturn an inquest verdict that her son had been "lawfully killed" by an armed Metropolitan Police officer.

Several students were injured and opposition MPs said four were killed, but the government denied any deaths.
The students were marching from their campus in the capital, Port Moresby, towards parliament where Mr O'Neill faces a possible no confidence motion.
They are demanding that he stand down and answer corruption allegations. Mr O'Neill has denied wrongdoing.
In a statement later on Wednesday, Mr O'Neill said "a small group of students were violent, threw rocks at police and provoked a response that came in the form of tear gas and warning shots".
"The factors that led to students being injured are yet to be ascertained," he said, condemning "agitators responsible for instigating a violent confrontation".
The government said an inquiry would be launched to determine what caused the clashes.
In a separate development, parliament was adjourned on Wednesday until August.
Footage obtained by the BBC appeared to show a large crowd of students at the campus running away as shots and tear gas were fired.
Political tension in the country has been rising for weeks, with thousands of students at the University of Papua New Guinea boycotting classes demanding the resignation of PM O'Neill. Classes were officially suspended last month.
In May, Mr O'Neill responded to a petition from students saying that he would not be resigning. He said the corruption allegations against him were of "questionable political intent", as reported by ABC.
Papua New Guinea was ranked one of the most corrupt countries in the world in 2012 by Transparency International.
In 2014, Mr O'Neill himself was accused of fraud by the national anti-corruption watchdog, which issued a warrant for his arrest. The warrant has not been carried out so far.
According to the World Bank, 70% of the country, the most linguistically diverse in the world, lives in poverty.
Medical officials in Port Moresby told Reuters that at least 10 students had been admitted "in a difficult situation".
Images circulating on social media also showed injured students being carried away.
There have been conflicting reports of casualties. Opposition figures told parliament that four people had died, while other reports said one person was dead.
Reuters quoted an unnamed aid agency as saying it had heard reports four students died at a clinic on the campus in the Waigani suburb of Port Moresby.
The main hospital in the capital told local news site EMTV that it had seen no fatalities.
Papua New Guinea Police Commissioner Gari Baki said no deaths had been reported, according to the Associated Press news agency.
One eyewitness, David Rupa, told the BBC he was on his way to work when he became caught in the protest at about 08:50 local time (23:50 GMT Tuesday).
He said he could see tear gas and people running for cover and heard shots fired.
"I saw policemen hit and kick girls who couldn't run [fast enough] and were bashed up. I cried and was told I will be shot if I was going to take photos or video."
He also said he had seen smoke coming from a dormitory at the university, and that parents were coming down to the campus to make sure their children were not hurt.
Gary Juffa, an MP and vocal critic of the prime minister, said on Twitter he had been told the shooting began with an argument between one student and a police superintendent.
Reports suggest the students had refused to hand over their protest leader to police.
EMTV said the university had suspended classes to deal with the student boycott, but they were supposed to resume this week.

The jacking frame that surrounded the slender i360 seafront structure as it was constructed has been removed.
The 162m (531ft) tower is made up of 17 tubes stacked on top of each other.
Images of the observation pod that will take people up to a height of 138m (453ft) have also been revealed by developers.
The i360 has been designed by the team behind the London Eye.
The pod, which will carry up to 200 people, is currently being constructed near Lyon, France.
Developers hope the tower will attract at least 700,000 visitors per year, making it the city's most popular paid-for attraction.
Chief executive of the Brighton i360, Eleanor Harris, said: "It is incredible to see the tower standing without the jacking tower.
"Now you get a real sense of why the i360 is the slimmest tall tower ever built in the world; it is a real marvel of engineering."

Brighton has been given its first clear glimpse of England's tallest viewing platform outside London.

Speaking on his Radio 2 breakfast show earlier, he said he had texted Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May before the announcement was made.
Hammond, he said, had wished him good luck and gave assurances he "didn't blame him" for taking the job.
Evans also said there will "absolutely" be a woman in the new Top Gear line-up.
But he said he would not have a female co-presenter just "for the sake of it".
"I want to have people who are extremely knowledgeable about cars... people who have great energy, good timing... who are keen to do things differently," he told Radio 5 live.
The BBC has yet to confirm the rest of the Top Gear line-up - but Formula 1 presenter Suzi Perry featured prominently in the audience of Evans' TV show TFI Friday last week.
In his first remarks about the Top Gear job, broadcast on Radio 2 at 08:15 BST, Evans said Clarkson had also wished him "the best of luck".
Clarkson "then gave me a piece of advice which I'm not going to repeat on the radio", the broadcaster told his listeners.
Clarkson's contract was not renewed by the BBC after he punched a Top Gear producer in March.
Evans, a noted car enthusiast, had previously ruled himself out of becoming taking over the show.
Evans said he had wanted Top Gear to carry on with Hammond and May and had not wanted to "contaminate the situation" by throwing his hat in the ring.
"Whenever I said 'I categorically rule myself out of running for office', it was because I didn't want to be a pawn in a chess game involving three of my friends."
The situation changed this week, he explained, with Hammond and May confirming they would not continue on the programme in Clarkson's absence.
This led to a conversation with Mark Linsey, the BBC's controller of entertainment commissioning, and an offer he felt he had to accept.
Top Gear, said Evans, was "the biggest television show in the world" and his "favourite television show of all time".
"I love producing TV... and so I said yes," continued the former TFI Friday host, who will lead an as yet unconfirmed line-up of new presenters.
Hammond, Evans went on, had told him he was "designed and built" for the Top Gear job and that his hiring was "always the BBC's very best option".
Evans also hinted obliquely that James May may play some role on the programme in future.
"We're going to meet up today and tomorrow and talk about things and who knows what might happen there."
Evans has signed a three-year deal to host and produce the BBC Two show, one of the corporation's most popular international exports.
It is watched by 350 million viewers worldwide, with overseas sales worth an estimated £50m a year.
Evans has also received the backing of Chris Goffey, who co-hosted Top Gear in the 1980s and 1990s.
The broadcaster, Goffey told BBC Breakfast, was "the obvious choice", asking: "Who else in TV is really clued-up about the cars and has got a persona to match Jeremy's?"
Speaking to Radio 5 live on Wednesday, Evans said he had started formulating ideas for the show on Saturday, adding they involved "evolution, not revolution".
"The films have got to stay there," he said of the elaborate film sequences that were a feature of the Clarkson era. "They're a crucial part of what Top Gear is.
"We'll look at what we have to put in, what we need to put in, and then we'll see what we might want to put in," he continued.
"The first thing I'm going to do is sit down [with the Top Gear production team] and say, 'tell me what you know.'"
In addition to confirming "100 percent" that a woman would feature on the new presenting line-up, Evans said the popular Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment would remain a Top Gear staple.
But he said it would change and that "bells and whistles" would be added.
Top Gear, he went on, was "a fantastic programme" that was "so rock solid" and had "always been brilliant".
"I've never seen a bad Top Gear," he told Nicky Campbell. "They don't exist."
Evans also reiterated his earlier stated intention that he hoped to remain as host of Radio 2's breakfast show.

Chris Evans has revealed he has received the blessing of Top Gear's former hosts, after it was announced he would be taking over the BBC show.

Nuno stepped down on Sunday, after just over one season in charge.
Neville joined Valencia as assistant manager in July, having previously been first-team coach at Manchester United.
The former Everton captain, 38, will support interim coach Voro until a new manager is appointed, the Spanish club said on Monday.
They both took training before Valencia's Copa del Rey last-32 tie at Barakaldo on Wednesday.
Valencia's next La Liga match is at home to champions Barcelona on Saturday.
Nuno, 41, announced his departure after Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Sevilla, which left Valencia ninth in La Liga.
They are third in Group H of the Champions League, still with a chance of progressing to the knockout stage. However, the Portuguese said expectations had not been met.
"We are all in agreement that the current situation is not good, and that we must all do what is best for the club," he said. "This has always been my intention."
Valencia finished fourth in La Liga last season but have struggled this term, winning five out of 13 games.
The club's Singaporean owner, Peter Lim, has a stake in Salford City, the non-league club co-owned by Neville with his former Manchester United team-mates Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes.

The 23-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman thrilled the Lord's crowd with a scintillating 121 from 74 balls.
His innings, and with it England's hopes, ended unceremoniously when he was run out in the final over.
Kumar Sangakkara set Sri Lanka on their way to 300-9 with a fine 112, which included 14 fours.
"England will be kicking themselves. They will feel elated at seeing one of their team-mates play such an innings, but they will be deflated too. Perhaps they need more power at the top; they need to start the chase quicker."
If Sangakkara's innings proved the most important, Buttler's was the most explosive.
From the depths of 111-5, he smashed the fastest ODI century by an England player, hitting 11 fours and four sixes.
He and Ravi Bopara added 133 in 16.2 thrilling overs to keep pace with a required run-rate of more than nine an over.
Although Bopara fell for 51 with 57 needed off 32 balls, Buttler's explosive strokeplay carried England into the final over needing 12 to win.
However, Chris Jordan holed out at long-on from the second delivery and Buttler was comfortably run out chasing an impossible single off the fourth as the brilliant Lasith Malinga limited England to four runs.
Earlier, left-hander Sangakkara showed why he is considered one of the game's greats with a fluent 19th ODI century as he and fellow veteran Tillakaratne Dilshan (71) put on 172 for the second wicket after England won the toss.
They were aided by England's bowlers, who struggled to find the movement that helped them bowl Sri Lanka out for 67 in the third ODI at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Jos Buttler: 61 balls v Sri Lanka, Lord's, 2014
Kevin Pietersen: 69 balls v South Africa, East London, 2005
Ravi Bopara: 74 balls v Ireland, Malahide, 2013
Marcus Trescothick: 76 balls v Bangladesh, The Oval, 2005
Paul Collingwood: 77 balls v Bangladesh, Trent Bridge, 2005
Left-arm seamer Harry Gurney claimed 4-55 in his fifth ODI, while James Anderson and Jordan shared four expensive wickets.
England's chase began sluggishly as captain Alastair Cook and opening partner Ian Bell fell to Malinga inside the first four overs.
Gary Ballance and Joe Root, who made 42 and 43 respectively, were steady but unspectacular as England struggled to build momentum - between the ninth and 31st overs they failed to score a boundary.
Once Eoin Morgan fell for 12 in the 29th over, it appeared England were heading for a forgettable defeat.
But Lancashire's Buttler, who made his one-day international debut in 2012, and Bopara rescued the hosts with the highest sixth-wicket stand in ODIs at Lord's.
After Buttler smashed Nuwan Kulasekara for two sixes and a four in the 46th over, an improbable victory was in sight with 36 needed from 24 balls.
But Malinga ensured the series would be decided at Edgbaston on Tuesday with an immaculate final over.

Jos Buttler made a superb century but England lost by seven runs to Sri Lanka, who levelled the one-day series at 2-2 with one game to go.

Bailey Gwynne died after being stabbed in the heart at Cults Academy in October.
His 16-year-old killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denied murder and was found guilty of culpable homicide on Monday.
Kate Gwynne said: "Nothing will give us back what has been taken."
She said: "Bailey is not a story. Bailey is our child. He is our son, and our heart, our brother, our grandson, our nephew, cousin and our friend and beloved master of Teddy the Pug."
The statement - accompanied by two new pictures of Bailey - said: "Whatever the outcome was to be in this trial nothing will give us back what has been taken and the only thing that we truly want.
"That is something that we as a family must try to live with.
"Our priority through the time of this trial was to be there for Bailey. That remains our priority along with guiding our sons, his brothers, through this. That is inevitably a long road, but we will never lose sight of Bailey while walking it.
"We have appreciated greatly the support of all those around us and those close to us, whether it has been practical or emotional.
"We know that everyone around us has done their utmost for Bailey and we appreciate and greatly admire the fairness and integrity shown to all parties by the prosecuting counsel.
"We cannot praise highly enough the police, our lovely family liaison officers and the fiscal staff."
It continued: "Our sweet boy with a big dream working hard to make it happen. A boy who was never happier than when chilling out with his friends and his dog after a session in the gym.
"The boy who would carry his brothers to the top on a hill walk when their own legs failed them, who dutifully cut the grass for his dad or rescued his Nonna's shopping and the boy who would come with me on an evening run just to keep me company in the dark even though he could finish it in half the time.
"We will always be immensely proud that Bailey is our son. We now need time and space to come to terms with what has happened and to continue to care for our family and those dear to Bailey.
"Lastly, it has always been a true blessing and a privilege to have Bailey and to share the honour of knowing, raising and loving him. That is not something that time or our parting will ever change.
"Bailey-Bazza, my true gent. With love we hold you in our hearts. Walk tall Bailey-Boy."
The jury at the High Court in Aberdeen took an hour and 40 minutes to find his killer guilty of the lesser charge.
Sentence was deferred until 1 April.
Judge Lady Stacey told the accused he would be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh and would be given a custodial sentence.
The youth was also found guilty of two further charges of having a knife and knuckleduster in school.
Following the verdict, it was announced that an independent investigation is to be held into the circumstances that led to Bailey's death.

The solid iron core is actually crystalline, surrounded by liquid.
But the temperature at which that crystal can form had been a subject of long-running debate.
Experiments outlined in Science used X-rays to probe tiny samples of iron at extraordinary pressures to examine how the iron crystals form and melt.
Seismic waves captured after earthquakes around the globe can give a great deal of information as to the thickness and density of layers in the Earth, but they give no indication of temperature.
That has to be worked out either in computer models that simulate the Earth's insides, or in the laboratory.
Measurements in the early 1990s of iron's "melting curves" - from which the core's temperature can be deduced - suggested a core temperature of about 5,000C.
"It was just the beginning of these kinds of measurements so they made a first estimate... to constrain the temperature inside the Earth," said Agnes Dewaele of the French research agency CEA and a co-author of the new research.
"Other people made other measurements and calculations with computers and nothing was in agreement. It was not good for our field that we didn't agree with each other," she told BBC News.
The core temperature is crucial to a number of disciplines that study regions of our planet's interior that will never be accessed directly - guiding our understanding of everything from earthquakes to the Earth's magnetic field.
"We have to give answers to geophysicists, seismologists, geodynamicists - they need some data to feed their computer models," Dr Dewaele said.
The team has now revisited those 20-year-old measurements, making use of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility - one of the world's most intense sources of X-rays.
To replicate the enormous pressures at the core boundary - more than a million times the pressure at sea level - they used a device called a diamond anvil cell - essentially a tiny sample held between the points of two precision-machined synthetic diamonds.
Once the team's iron samples were subjected to the high pressures and high temperatures using a laser, the scientists used X-ray beams to carry out "diffraction" - bouncing X-rays off the nuclei of the iron atoms and watching how the pattern changed as the iron changed from solid to liquid.
Those diffraction patterns give more insight into partially molten states of iron, which the team believes were what the researchers were measuring in the first experiments.
They suggest a core temperature of about 6,000C, give or take 500C - roughly that of the Sun's surface.
But importantly, Dr Dewaele said, "now everything agrees".
|
New measurements suggest the Earth's inner core is far hotter than prior experiments suggested, putting it at 6,000C - as hot as the Sun's surface.

The frog has a dark camouflage pattern which allows it to blend in with the rocky soil on which it dwells.
Researchers with the Humboldt Institute found the frog, which they named Pristimantis macrummendozai, in the Iguaquen Merchan moorlands, in central Boyaca province.
Colombia is one of the world's most biologically diverse countries.
Researchers said that the species was well adapted to its moorland surroundings.
They said that female Pristimantis took advantage of the moist soil to lay their eggs in the ground.
According to their studies, the Pristimanti's preferred breeding environment was at high altitude, above 3,500m (11,500ft).
Environmentalists in Colombia have been fighting for the country's moorlands to be protected.
Last month, they celebrated when Colombia's constitutional court banned mining in the moorlands, arguing that it could cause irreversible damage to their fragile ecosystem.

The group played the Soccer City stadium in the South African city of Johannesburg.
At the start of the gig, Harry Styles told the crowd: "You have no idea how much we love you right now."
Zayn quit the group saying he wanted to be a "normal 22-year-old" who was able "to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight".
At the gig, Zayn's face was removed from the video montage which introduced the boys before they went on stage.
On Twitter, people at the gig were reporting that Niall and Louis picked up Zayn's solos.
Thousands of fans packed out the gig, many of them sad that One Direction are now a four-piece.
15-year-old Bianca told Newsbeat: "Come back Zayn. We respect your decision but we needed to see your beautiful face. South Africa loves you."
Another fan said: "It's disappointing but things change, things happen. I think sooner or later they will break up but I don't want it to happen. He must rejoin them."
Earlier this month, Malik walked away from the band's world tour after being signed off with stress.
A week later he'd left the group for good saying: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band.
"I'd like to apologise to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right."
One Direction were quick to say they were staying together and they'll record a fifth album later this year.
Zayn reportedly visited a west London recording studio last week to work on solo material with Naughty Boy; who helped launch the careers of Emeli Sande and Sam Smith.

Witold Sobkow was speaking during a two-day visit to Northern Ireland, during which he will meet the first and deputy first ministers.
Nearly 150 crimes were recorded against the Polish community in a 12-month period up to March 2015.
That is an increase of 39 on the previous year.
In April, three attacks were recorded in one weekend in an area of north Belfast.
Mr Sobkow said between 20,000 and 30,000 Poles had settled in Northern Ireland.
He called for a more co-ordinated response to the attacks and more integration for the Polish community.
"In general they feel at home, they find Northern Ireland an hospitable place. From time to time we have the attacks on the representatives of the communities," he said.
"This is bad for the community, but it is also bad for Northern Ireland because it creates the wrong image of the community that is, in general, hospitable.
"But I'm very grateful for the acts of solidarity of people who live here, for all the efforts of the city council and the executive, of the police.
"We hope the perpetrators of those attacks will be detained."

Ben Butler allegedly became "hostile" and "aggressive" toward officers after six-year-old Ellie Butler died in hospital in October 2013.
He "stared accusingly" at an officer collecting evidence, the jury was told.
The 36-year-old denies murder and a second charge of child cruelty.

His partner Jennie Gray has pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice but denies a charge of child cruelty.
The Old Bailey heard the pair were reluctant to talk to police following the death of their daughter at St George's Hospital in Tooting.
PC Steve Stewart told the court: "I discovered them both to be hostile and unwilling to speak to police until the previous matter was known where they believed there had been a miscarriage of justice."
The court heard Mr Butler was convicted of harming Ellie in 2007 when she was six weeks old, but won an appeal and got his daughter back from foster care 11 months before her death.
He said accusations were made after she suffered a bleed on the brain and everything had got "twisted and turned", which made him "nervous" about talking to authorities.
"I went to court, jail, came out," he told the jury. "They found out it was a medical problem and a miscarriage of justice. I have nothing to hide but that's why I'm nervous."
According to an officer's notes, Mr Butler said on the day of Ellie's death he gave her some food before Ms Gray returned from work.
The next time he saw his daughter was when she was collapsed on the floor of her bedroom in Sutton, south-west London, the defendant claimed.
Following his arrest, Mr Butler was observed to quietly mutter to himself "I have done nothing wrong".
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.

They said the next government in 2015 must "urgently address" the role and effectiveness of Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPims).
The Joint Committee on Human Rights' report highlighted the risk of someone going missing while under TPims.
The Home Office said the measures were the strongest the courts would allow.
TPims involve restrictions including overnight residence at a specified address, GPS tagging, reporting requirements and restrictions on travel, movement, association, communication, finances, work and study.
By Dominic CascianiHome affairs correspondent, BBC News
By the end of this month six TPim suspects will be free - meaning there is only one man still subject to the monitoring conditions. Given the secrecy around the system, you can never be sure that there isn't another suspect we don't know about.
Control orders - the more restrictive regime that came before TPims - had many opponents who said the house-arrest style conditions were unjust and oppressive.
TPims inherited those critics and attracted more still, including security experts who said the new regime was too lax.
What does seem to be working now is a strategy to intervene earlier by charging suspects with preparing acts of terrorism. This group may include suspects who, at one time, would have been considered for a TPim because of police concerns that they had lots of intelligence but no hard evidence to present to a jury.
The measures were introduced in December 2011 as a replacement for the more restrictive regime of control orders, intended to prevent suspects from engaging in terrorist-related activity.
The report said there were eight TPim notices in force as of November last year, all of which were for British citizens.
But seven of those will have expired by the end of this month, according to the report.
The committee said TPims should be looked at as part of a wider review of counter-terrorism powers.
Its report urged the government "to engage more transparently and substantively" with recommendations of the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation.
The report said: "We are left with the impression that in practice TPims may be withering on the vine as a counter-terrorism tool of practical utility."
The committee concluded that the measures were not "investigative" in any real sense, and suggested they should be known as Terrorism Prevention Orders or something similar.
It said it agreed with the independent reviewer that the very nature of TPims "carries an inherent risk of the subject absconding".
And it recommended that more information about an internal review of TPims - launched after two subjects went missing - be made public.
Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed - who has been linked to the Somali militant group al-Shabab - absconded in November after changing into a burka while visiting a west London mosque.
His case followed that of Ibrahim Magag, who went missing in December 2012 in a black cab after ripping off his electronic tag.
Committee chairman Hywel Francis said: "There is no evidence that they serve any investigative function and even as preventive measures they seem to be going out of favour with the agencies.
"Very few TPims are in operation and almost all of these are due shortly to lapse after their two-year duration."
Mr Francis said there is too little information known about the individuals on whom these measures have been imposed to make a proper judgement about whether the power to impose them is "no longer required".
"The next government will need to look again at these measures within the context of counter-terrorism powers more generally," he added.
David Anderson, the independent reviewer of terror legislation, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme TPims were "a necessary evil".
"One thing it shows is that police and prosecutors are doing their job," he said.
"We've had a lot of convictions over the last couple of years, a lot of guilty pleas and a lot of heavy sentences."
TPims "don't present a long-term solution", he added.
Home Secretary Theresa May said TPims would also help the authorities gather material that would lead to prosecutions.
But the committee said it "failed to find any evidence" the measures had led to more suspects being charged.
TPim restrictions have been or are about to be lifted from seven suspects, including men allegedly involved in planning terrorist attacks.
The measures were imposed two years ago and cannot be renewed.
A Home Office spokesman said: "TPims were introduced because control orders were not working and their powers were being struck down by the courts.
"They now provide some of the strongest possible protections that the courts will allow."

Paul Gorman, 46, befriended the girl and offered her £40 to supply indecent images, which she took on a mobile phone in toilets at her school.
Police were called after a family friend spotted suspicious Facebook messages between Gorman and the girl.
Officers later found images of children being sexually abused on a computer at his home in Kilbirnie, North Ayrshire.
Midway through his trial at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court, Gorman admitted taking or making indecent images at a house in Dalry in May 2014.
A jury found him guilty of causing a child to engage in sexual activity by photographing herself and sending him pictures, and asking her to make an indecent video.
Gorman was remanded in custody for background reports and will be sentenced next month.
Sheriff Derek Livingston placed him on the sex offenders' register and said a prison sentence was "inevitable".

Demarai Gray opened the scoring early on with a long-range effort before substitute Jacob Murphy tapped in.
Poland rarely threatened and had defender Jan Bednarek sent off late on for tripping Tammy Abraham in the box.
Lewis Baker converted the resultant penalty to complete the win.
The victory against the hosts means Aidy Boothroyd's side top the standings with seven points.
Relive England's win against Poland
England can now look forward to a semi-final at the Stadion Miejski in Tychy on Tuesday, 27 June [17:00 BST] although they will not know who they will face until the completion of the group stage on Saturday.
They will play either Portugal from Group B or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic from Group C.
There are only three groups at the tournament - with the three winners each progressing along with the best-placed runners up. Who England play depends on who claims the spot as the best runner-up.
At the moment Slovakia, who finished second in Group A behind England with six points and a goal difference of +3, are in a strong position to claim it.
If that happens then England will play the winner of Group C, which with one round of games left to play is topped by Germany with six points.
However, if Slovakia do not claim that place then England's last-four opponents will be either Portugal (who are the only team in Group B that could finish in a better position than Slovakia) or Germany, Italy or the Czech Republic (who could all finish in second place with a better record than Slovakia) in Group C.
England's first 135 minutes of football at the tournament did nothing to suggest they were capable of avoiding a third successive group-stage exit.
They were unadventurous and ponderous in the opener against Sweden, managing just a single shot on target, and were equally poor for the first 45 minutes of their second game against Slovakia, in which they trailed 1-0 at the break.
However, they showed grit and determination to fight back and win that game 2-1, putting them in control of their own destiny, and they came out fighting in an intimidating atmosphere against Poland.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford once again showed why Everton paid Sunderland £30m for his services with a confident and assured display, while the Leicester pair of Ben Chilwell and Gray were also excellent.
Chilwell dominated down the left, snubbing out Poland attacks while getting forward quickly to create chances, and it was from his excellent pass that Gray scored the opener.
But in truth there were standout performances all over the pitch for England.
Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse provided a threat from set-pieces that is so often lacking at senior level, while Alfie Mawson was a dominant presence in defence as well as offering an aerial threat in attack.
The Swansea defender was only denied adding his name to the scoresheet by an excellent Jakub Wrabel save.
After a slow start it appears England are finding their form just at the right time.

It has been a good summer of major tournament football so far for England.
They reached the final of the European Under-17 Championship before losing to Spain on penalties.#
England then claimed their biggest international title since 1966 when their Under-20 side won the World Cup earlier this month, and now the Under-21s are now just two wins away from lifting another major trophy.
However, Spain have been the standout team at the tournament so far. They were the only team to secure their place in the semi-finals with a game to spare and boast some outstanding talent.
Saul Niguez, an Atletico Madrid regular and capped three times by the Spanish senior side, scored a memorable overhead kick in a 5-0 defeat of Macedonia, with Real Madrid's Marco Asensio scoring a hat-trick in that game.
Germany have also won their two games so far and have the tournament's most formidable defence - they are the only team yet to concede a goal.
However, if England perform like they did against Poland then they have every chance of emulating their Under-20 counterparts.
England Under-20 boss Paul Simpson, who was co-commentator on the game for BBC Radio 5 live:
"That was a top, top performance from the first whistle. They did everything manager Aidy Boothroyd would have wanted. It wasn't done by lumping it forwards, it was controlled possession while also being a real threat from set-pieces.
"This performance puts a marker down and shows what we are all about - we are not just here to make up the numbers, we are into the semi-final. And we can go on and get even stronger."
England Under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd: "It's a great moment. After the first game, which was a draw, it was doom and gloom. But we have a good group here and got the two wins that we needed. It was a high-pressure game, if we hadn't won then we would be out.
"We carried out the game plan to a T. We controlled the game and played really well. There were a few nervy moments.
"Demarai Gray was terrific. He worked his socks off. It is a squad game and one of the hardest things is keeping the lads who aren't playing motivated. But it is a good group, I'm really pleased."

Drivers reported seeing the man exposing himself as he walked on the B818, near to Nethermains Road, at about 17:30 on Wednesday.
He was described as a white man in his 30s, about 5ft 9in tall, with a slim build and wearing a blue or grey hooded top and jeans.
Officers are continuing to carry out inquiries in the area.
Sgt Peter Dimberline said: "This is a fairly busy road with young children potentially travelling in vehicles, which passed the suspect, and this type of behaviour is completely unacceptable."

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) confirmed the UK economy grew by 0.7% in the final three months of 2016.
Economists said that was driven by a rise in consumer spending, partly funded by households dipping deeper into savings and running up debt.
The savings ratio fell to its lowest since the early 1960s, the ONS said.
It said the ratio - which measures the outgoings and incomings that affect households - partly fell in the final quarter of last year because of changes in insurance and pension values.
But it was also part of a wider trend, which has seen the ratio fall since mid-2015 as consumer spending outstripped growth in disposable incomes.
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, said: "On the surface, today's national accounts data reconfirmed the earlier picture that the UK economy remained relatively robust in the second half of 2016 following the Brexit vote.
"Beneath the surface though, some more worrying signs are evident."
Among them is that household net borrowing in the fourth quarter rose to over £11bn, the highest quarterly level in nearly 30 years, he said.
"This pushed the household savings ratio in [the fourth quarter of] 2016 down to its lowest level since comparable records began in 1963," he added.
The Bank of England has predicted that weaker incomes will result in a "significant fall" in the saving ratio over the next three years.
The UK's economy last year defied forecasts that it would slow sharply after the vote in June to take the country out of the European Union.
However, inflation has gathered pace in recent months, driven in part by the fall in the value of sterling since the Brexit vote.
With prices rising and wage growth slowing, 2017 was "likely to be a very tough year for the consumer", said Martin Beck, senior economic advisor to the EY Item Club.
He added that monthly figures for the services sector indicated that output fell 0.1% in January.
The British economy continued to grow strongly at the end of last year boosted by the dominant services sector and increasing exports.
That meant that growth for the whole year was a respectable 1.8%.
The two key factors were the fall in value of the pound which has helped British exporters to boost exports by 4.6% and by strong consumer spending that has kept the services sector of the economy performing well.
Household spending rose by 0.7% in the last three months of 2016 alone. But there are signs that may not continue for long; inflation is now rising at almost the same rate as wages and that is likely to squeeze spending power, while households have few savings to fall back on.
The savings ratio at 3.3% is already at its lowest level since records began in 1963.

As the Scottish Football Association's performance director Malky Mackay has held a series of presentations to member clubs about the proposal, the reaction has been generally positive, even from outfits that had previously been sceptical or resistant.
There would be few grimaces to the notion of restoring a form of reserve team football, though, when almost everybody involved in Scottish football points to the loss of that level of the game being critical to youth academy graduates not being mentally or physically battle-hardened enough for first-team football.
Consensus is the prize for Mackay, since it will enable him to deliver the project in a viable form that the clubs buy into, and the sense is that the momentum is behind him.
"Ninety-five percent of what has been said, people agree with," he said on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
Mackay has held three presentations this week, with a fourth to follow. He has put detail on to the outlines that were aired when points from a draft copy of Project Brave were published in the media.
The difference between the youth development plan that Mackay has been appointed to oversee and the one that predecessor Mark Wotte established six years ago is that the clubs have been directly involved in producing the blueprint.
Mackay is clear that communication is vital - he has visited 10 clubs since officially starting his role three weeks ago and will make his way around all 42 directly. For Project Brave to succeed, clubs need to buy into it and implement it.
"People have in the main agreed that something radical needs to be done," Mackay said. "And this is radical."
Media playback is not supported on this device
What the clubs are agreeing with is the establishment of a reserve league and an under-18 league, encouraging more development loans, a summer calendar for academy football (with indoor futsal taking place in the winter) and coach development, with a head of coaching to be appointed to lead the development of the best coaches at each club.
"This whole programme is based on coaches," Mackay explained. "Our coach education programme is second to none. What we're not good at is coach mentoring.
"I'm going to ask the clubs to give me their best young coach and I'll put on a course for them, we'll set them tasks, have them for a year thinking deeply about certain problems, make our good young coaches very good young coaches.
"Clubs want that to happen and we need to for our next Scotland managers. Everybody we've spoken to is up for this. We need to make the [coaches] better to make our players better.
"The part that comes up is money, funding."
Some clubs were initially wary of the prospect of the academy system being streamlined. The plan is to reduce the number of funded elite academies from 29 to a maximum of 16.
Clubs will need to submit a three-year business plan to show that their academy is financially viable, has enough support staff and coaches and good enough facilities. Academies will also be judged on measurable performance outcomes, including the number of graduates in the first team, the number actively out on loan at other clubs and the number representing the national team.
All of this will be assessed by an independent company and the selected elite academies will receive funding but also play each other in a competitive league to maintain the best v best strategy.
Other clubs will still be able to run academies or community outreach schemes. All will continue to receive their current level of funding for three years after Project Brave is implemented, a commitment that has won a lot of support for the plan.
"There is a soft landing for clubs, there is a lot of support and help going to be given," Mackay said.
"We are setting the bar high because it has to be the elite players we're focusing on. It's the 19-21 age group where the whole thing breaks down and we need to get them into first teams.
"It's up to us to educate 11-16-year-olds. We need to be better athletes and have them running properly at that age, proper sports science, diet and nutrition advice, to be under 10% body fat and sports psychology to make sure they are mentally stronger. We need to build better footballers."
Talent identification will be a key factor, particularly when clubs will have to reduce the number of players in their academy. Mackay will establish a talent identification programme at the SFA to assist clubs in predicting which players will make the grade at 19 by measuring and assessing physical and mental markers as they develop.
"It's imperative for Scottish football," he said.
Once Mackay has completed his presentations the next stage of the process is for Project Brave to be presented to the SFA board. Following that, and once the clubs have signed off on it, the plans will begin to be implemented in time for season 2017-18.
"It's about what is the best for the young Scottish elite player," Mackay added.
Mackay has begun the process of making the case for Project Brave, and so far he has been encouraged by the reaction. For now, Scottish football seems prepared to embrace change.

Project Brave is designed to be a radical solution for Scottish football and it brings elements of the past to bear on the future.

Muhammad secured Britain a -80kg berth for Rio with victory in the World Taekwondo Grand Final on Sunday.
Sansum won a world silver medal in May but lost to Muhammad in October.
"Lutalo has done an exceptional job but Damon has also done an exceptional job in winning the world silver medal," said GB performance director Gary Hall.
"It is a tough decision and it is such a shame that we are not able to select them both. But we are building a programme in Manchester which is designed to make these kinds of decisions possible."
Muhammad did not go to the World Championships because of a knee injury.
"I have had my challenges this year but I have come back to book the spot for GB," said the 24-year-old.
He and Sansum, 28, will find out before June who has been selected.
Muhammad was controversially chosen ahead of then world number one Aaron Cook for London 2012.
His selection was approved by the British Olympic Association after a bitter legal battle and he went on to secure bronze.
Cook, 24, subsequently defected to fight for Moldova and lost out to Muhammad in Sunday's final in Mexico City.

Holmes, 27, has signed a two-and-a-half year contract after scoring once in a four-game loan spell with the Cobblers.
Left-back Newey, 32, had a loan spell with Northampton last November and was released by Oxford on Monday.
"I thought he was outstanding when he came here," manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton.
"He was superb for me at Oxford, we had a great defensive record there and he was a part of that."
"Tom's a good player, it was a great opportunity to get him in and I'm sure he'll have a decent career here with us."
Newey joined the U's in July 2013, when Wilder was in charge, and made 62 appearances for the club.
The former Grimsby and Rotherham defender had his loan spell at Northampton cut short by an ankle injury after only three appearances.

William George McVeigh is accused of attacking the teenager near Woodvale Park during the early hours of Saturday, 31 October.
A detective constable told the court it was a "highly emotive case" in the Shankill area and objected to bail to protect both the girl and the accused.
The judge remanded Mr McVeigh, of Forthriver Green, Belfast, in custody.
He said he was "concerned about the vulnerability of the 14-year-old witness".
The judge also refused a request from a defence lawyer to impose reporting restrictions on Mr McVeigh's identity.
The lawyer said it was the accused's case that he had believed the teenager was older than 14.
The police officer told the court the girl first reported the attack to her mother and sister.
Since then, the teenager has been medically examined and police recorded her witness statement.
Mr McVeigh was remanded into custody to appear again via videolink on 18 December.

Det Ch Supt Sue Southern, who also leads the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, was involved in the case against two Birmingham men who pleaded guilty to preparing to carry out terrorist acts.
Nahin Ahmed and Yusuf Sarwar, who travelled to Syria to join rebel fighters, were jailed for 12 years and eight months at Woolwich Crown Court.
Ms Southern said stopping people being recruited to terrorist groups online was a "significant challenge".
"My workload, as is reflected across the country, has increased five fold - we are holding the biggest case load outside London," she said.
Ahmed had sought advice via the internet from a fighter in Syria and from extremists in Denmark and Sweden.
Ms Southern said both men had used "an element of deception" to hide what they were planning to do from their families.
"They'd produced a mock-up of a poster claiming to be a university trip out to Turkey - the family initially believed that but then became suspicious and came forward to the police to raise the alarm," she said.
When the men returned to the UK, police found "significant high levels of explosive residue" on their clothing and glasses, and there were also images of them holding weapons.
"The ability for them to come back and potentially launch attacks back here in the UK - that's the risk, that's the concern," Ms Southern said.
She called for people to come forward "much sooner", if they believed someone had become radicalised.
"We are very grateful to both families and we are sympathetic to where [they] find themselves, with their sons facing prison sentences.
"We hope this gives people the confidence to come forward, but to come forward sooner."

He will present an hour-long programme on Radio 2 on Friday evenings, the BBC confirmed.
The broadcaster, who is 73 years old, was taken off air in February.
Director general Tony Hall said at the time Blackburn had failed to fully co-operate with the Jimmy Savile inquiry.
In a statement, Blackburn said: "I do not seek to criticise the BBC for decisions it has made in the past.
"I have had a difficult year personally, but I'm pleased to be returning to the BBC and can't wait to get behind the mic again."
A spokesperson for the BBC said: "The BBC stands by the findings of Dame Janet Smith and the decision it made to take Tony Blackburn off air at the start of this year based on Dame Janet's preference for the documentary evidence relating to meetings that took place over Tony Blackburn's statements."
Who is Tony Blackburn?
The son of a doctor from Guildford, Tony Blackburn was the first DJ to broadcast on Radio 1 when it launched in September 1967. He spent 17 years at the station and also presented Top of the Pops and was a weekly fixture on Noel's House Party. Prior to all that, he had broadcast on Radio Caroline South and then Radio London.
After Radio 1, he was one of the launch presenters on Capital Gold. He has also hosted Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops as well as regular bank holiday specials for the stations. He has also had shows on BBC London 94.9, BBC Radio Berkshire, the Magic network, BBC3CR and KMFM.
In 2002 he won the ITV reality TV programme I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Blackburn's new Radio 2 programme will replace the show currently hosted Desmond Carrington, who announced last month he was retiring after 70 years in broadcasting.
Dame Janet Smith's inquiry had rejected the evidence from the Radio 2 DJ.
Blackburn, who had threatened to sue the BBC, said the report included an accusation he was among celebrities who "seduced" a 15-year-old girl.
In a statement, he denied the allegation and said he was cleared of wrongdoing.
He accused the BBC of making him a "scapegoat" for its own "cover-up" of abuse.
After the news of his return to Radio 2 was confirmed on Wednesday morning, Blackburn tweeted: "Thank you for all your lovely messages."

It is the first hairdryer powered by a miniaturised air pump in the handle, using the same airflow principles as Dyson's desk fan products.
The company said it had invested £50m in the development of the device.
However, the £299 price tag makes it at least twice as expensive as salon-grade dryers made by rival manufacturers.
"People do spend a lot of money to take care of their hair," said Thidathip Tawichai, analyst at Euromonitor International.
"People in developed markets usually look after their personal care more and buy more expensive products.
"But £300 is very expensive and a lot to invest in a hairdryer. People like to follow fashions and spend a little money trying different things," she told the BBC.
Dyson is best known for its bagless vacuum cleaners and high-speed hand dryers, although it says it has a further 40 products in development.
The company's founder Sir James Dyson said developing a hairdryer was an "obvious" choice.
"There just happens to be a huge field in airflow," he told the BBC.
"We make very high-speed motors... so it's rather obvious that we would carry on and use that in everything involved in airflow."
The company said it had spent £50m investigating the "limitations" of conventional hairdryers. The biggest problem, according to Sir James, was that styling attachments and the dryer's proximity to hair slowed airflow and led to hair being overheated.
"If you overheat the hair, you get water bubbles in the cortex exploding and blasting holes in the fibres, which gives you a dull look and damaged hair," he told the BBC.
Defending the price of the hairdryer, which will cost more than some of the firm's latest vacuum cleaners, Sir James said: "We all spend 20-30 minutes every day doing our hair, so you use it an awful lot.
"Not damaging your hair, that's worth a lot of money."
Personal care analyst Roshida Khanom of Mintel said women in particular had started looking for products that were kinder to their hair.
"We found a high proportion of women are limiting their use of heat appliances and 20% had bought appliances that claim to be less damaging, so there's definitely a market for products that don't damage hair," she told the BBC.
While Dyson's hairdryer will be marketed at consumers as well as haircare professionals, Sir James said it was more important to satisfy customers than to appeal to a wide audience.
"It's not so much how many you sell that's important, it's whether people who buy it like it," he told the BBC.
"I don't mind if I only sell 100 a year, as long as those 100 people think it's really good. I wouldn't make much money but that's not always the point. That's not what drives us, that's not what makes it exciting."
The new hairdryer will first go on sale in Japan, where Dyson says 96% of people own a hairdryer.

Dyson has revealed its first personal care product - a hairdryer that it says is quieter and less damaging to hair than a conventional machine.

The new Tobacco Control Plan aims to slash smoking rates from 15.5% to 12% of the population by 2022, paving the way to a smoke-free generation.
If national smoking rates continue to fall, this generation of non-smokers could be achieved by 2030, says charity Action on Smoking and Health (Ash).
Health officials say smoking currently kills 200 people a day in England.
Smoking rates in England are at the lowest level since records began.
But the Department of Health says there is still much further to go.
It has sets out a range of targets:
Commenting on the proposals, Deborah Arnott, the chief executive of Ash, said: "The vision of a smoke-free generation it sets out is a welcome step-change in ambition from the last Tobacco Control Plan for England and should be achievable by 2030."
But she warned that the success of the plan - which emphasises local over national action - was threatened by "severe government cuts in public health funding".
There is no new money to achieve this plan and no penalties for local areas that fail to meet the targets.
And smoking rates remain stubbornly high in some regions, particularly among the lowest earners.
Public Health England's chief executive Duncan Selbie said the country was at a "pivotal point" where the end was in sight and a smoke-free generation a reality.
But he added: "The final push, reaching the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, will undoubtedly be the hardest."
Meanwhile, Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest, called on ministers to "stop lecturing" people.
He said: "The most important stakeholder is the consumer, yet they are routinely ignored by the government. Ministers should stop lecturing smokers and engage with them."
Public health minister, Steve Brine, said: "Smoking continues to kill hundreds of people a day in England, and we know the harms fall on some of the poorest and most vulnerable people in our society.
"That is why we are targeting prevention and local action to address the variation in smoking rates in our society, educate people about the risks and support them to quit for good."
One of the areas the government's plan focuses on is cutting smoking rates in pregnancy, partly by calling on local areas to appoint smoke-free pregnancy "champions".
It comes as the Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group - which includes academic institutions and charities- says pregnant women who find it hard to quit should be encouraged to try e-cigarettes as an alternative.
Prof Linda Bauld, chairwoman of the group, told the BBC: "Smoking in pregnancy is uniquely harmful. It causes 2,000 premature births, 5,000 miscarriages and 300 deaths of babies every year in the UK.
"So if somebody is struggling to stop, let us be open about that, let us talk about all the options.
"If a woman is really struggling and wants to use e-cigarettes, then from what we know to date in the UK, we shouldn't be preventing those women from using them."

The Chiefs had a bonus point inside half an hour as Tom Johnson, Dean Mumm, Matt Jess and Fetu'u Vainikolo scored.
A fifth try for Ben White made it 36-3 at half-time, but the Blues hit back on the resumption to claim a losing bonus point for scoring four of their own.
Lloyd Williams, Robin Copeland, Alex Cuthbert and Harry Robinson all crossed to earn a measure of respectability.
But a penalty from replacement Henry Slade five minutes from time saw Exeter - who were reduced to 13 men after two yellow cards inside a minute early in the final quarter - have the last word.
They will head to Glasgow next weekend in buoyant mood after their best European win to date, while the Blues must regroup swiftly for the visit of defending champions Toulon after an embarrassingly one-sided first half on Sunday.
In a debut campaign last season that included two narrow losses to three-time champions Leinster and home-and-away wins over the Scarlets, the Chiefs showed a relish to broaden their horizons.
Their early ambition - attacking from deep with ball in hand - almost cost them when Gareth Steenson's pass was intercepted by Cory Allen in the sixth minute, but the Blues centre could not hold onto the ball.
"We didn't see the Blues in that first half. They were found wanting defensively, they couldn't get the ball or keep it. It was as one-sided an encounter as I have ever seen at this level. Exeter knew the game was won in the second half, their foot came off the pedal, they made changes and lost their rhythm. The Blues couldn't have got any worse and did lift their game. There was more pride in the performance and they got four tries by sticking in there."
Undeterred, the Chiefs launched another multi-phase attack which ended in a try for England international Johnson, one of four capped players in the home line-up compared with the 13 on duty for the Blues.
The flanker was driven over by centre Jason Shoemark from close range and, with next to no possession, the Blues were grateful for Leigh Halfpenny's long-range penalty to make it 5-3.
It proved a momentary aberration though as the one-way traffic continued for the rest of the half.
With fly-half Steenson controlling matters and full-back Phil Dollman a constant threat with his incisive running and support work, Exeter were in total command.
Steenson kicked a penalty before a whirlwind spell of four tries in 14 minutes left the visitors reeling.
First Exeter were allowed to take a line-out unopposed and Australia lock Mumm broke away from the back of a ruck to cruise through a gaping hole for his fourth try of the season.
We had to make 100 tackles and we missed 20 and that is not good enough at this level
The Blues were unable to contain the pace and verve of Exeter's attack, and after Dollman's break, right wing Jess exploited a splintered defence and more weak tackling for the third try.
Tonga international Vainikolo, making his first competitive start for Exeter, stepped inside four defenders to score the fourth.
Flanker White, discarded by the Blues two years ago, could scarcely conceal his delight as he dived over with barely a hand laid on him for the fifth.
Steenson's first conversion came back off an upright, but he landed his next four with aplomb as the Chiefs established a 36-3 half-time cushion.
The only downside was seeing try-scorer Johnson limp off, but they barely missed a beat initially.
Steenson's neat dummy and dart saw Whitten cross for the sixth try 12 minutes into the second half.
As Steenson's conversion came back off an upright for a second time, Wales and Lions wing Cuthbert took a frustrated kick at the rebounding ball and proceeded to fall over, neatly encapsulating the Blues' humiliation.
But as Exeter, perhaps inevitably, stepped off the gas, the Blues rallied with two tries in four minutes, scrum-half Williams scampering over and replacement back-rower Copeland bounding through another big hole.
Halfpenny converted both and suddenly there was further cause for optimism as Exeter were reduced to 13 men inside a minute, with Whitten - for a deliberate knock-on - and replacement Sireli Naqelevuki, for a high tackle on Robinson, sent to the sin-bin.
The Blues exploited their numerical advantage as Cuthbert crossed in the right corner and Robinson darted over on the opposite flank.
They created two further chances to increase anxiety in the home ranks but Exeter composed themselves to finish the job.
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter:
"In the first half we played with real intent and the attitude that we took on to the pitch following last week was absolutely fantastic - not just to attack the game but also the physicality and strength of the carries.
"Obviously the battle for us is to keep the quality for longer periods. When you go down to 13 men you put yourself under a bit of pressure and we got ourselves down to 13 pretty unnecessarily. That flipped the whole game."
Blues director of rugby Phil Davies:
"We didn't do anything that we said we would do inthe first half, particularly for our kicking game, and that gave them too many opportunities to come back at us.
"I think we had to make 100 tackles and we missed 20 and that is not good enough at this level.
"We have to give Exeter credit for the way that they played but we had far more control on the game in the second half. To get four tries was pleasing to give us some momentum going into next week."

Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back, a half-hour mockumentary, will show the public and private faces of the politician following the EU referendum.
Bishop, soon to be seen in a remake of Porridge, said the "colourful character" was a "gift to parody".
The title of the BBC2 comedy refers to a speech made by Farage in July, in which he said he wanted his life back.
In the speech, in which he resigned as UKIP leader, he said: "During the referendum campaign, I said I want my country back. What I'm saying today is I want my life back, and it begins right now."
The programme makers ask "what sort of life has he gone back to, and how does a man forever in the spotlight fill his days now he has nothing to do?".
They say Farage will be shown "at home, eating bangers and mash, watching Pointless and insisting that he doesn't miss the limelight... and that he never wanted to be prime minister anyway".
Bishop said: "I'm delighted to be playing a character as colourful as Farage. He's a gift to parody and I'm looking forward to bringing previously unseen aspects of his life to the screen."
Executive producer Peter Holmes, managing director of Zeppotron, which is making the comedy, said: "This project couldn't feel more relevant. Nigel Farage has had a huge part to play in the momentous political events of recent times, and everybody has an opinion of him.
"We hope we can create a lot of laughter while painting a portrait of such a divisive figure as he fills the empty hours of retirement."
The comedy is being written by Alan Connor and Shaun Pye, who worked together on The Rack Pack and Sky Arts's A Young Doctor's Notebook, which starred Daniel Radcliffe and Mad Men's Jon Hamm.

It has been accused of holding meetings with other LCD makers in a bid to keep prices of the panels at a high level.
The fine comes just months after Taiwanese firm AU Optronics was found guilty on similar charges.
Toshiba has denied the charges and said it will take necessary legal action to overturn the verdict.
"While Toshiba appreciates the jury's time and effort, Toshiba believes that the jury's verdict is in error as to the finding of wrongdoing," the firm said.
LCD panels are used in a variety of products, ranging from flat screen TVs to personal computers and laptops.
However, some of the world's leading manufacturers of these panels, including Samsung and LG Electronics, were accused of colluding to keep their prices high in a bid to boost profits.
Lawmakers argued that such action by the manufacturers had hurt their customers.
Last year, seven LCD makers, including South Korea's Samsung, paid more than $500m for partial refunds to retail consumers who bought goods containing the LCD panels made by them in a bid to settle price-fixing claims.
The LCD makers had also agreed a $388m deal with commercial firms who bought the panels directly from them.
Toshiba was the only firm that decided to contest the claims.
"We are very pleased the jury found in favour of the plaintiffs and found that Toshiba violated the law, particularly in light of the government's decision not to criminally prosecute Toshiba for its misconduct," said Richard Heimann, co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs.

Winger Nick Cummins and flanker Michael Hooper scored early touchdowns as the Wallabies stormed in to a 15-3 lead.
Jonny Sexton pegged it back to 15-12 with three penalties but then had to go off with a hamstring injury.
Australian fly-half Quade Cooper scored the third try in the 46th minute before Hooper got his second of the night.

But the visitors ended the evening with 14 men after centre Tevita Kuridrani received a straight red card for a dangerous tackle on Peter O'Mahony with eight minutes left.
This was just Schmidt's second match since taking over from Declan Kidney, after a comfortable 40-9 victory over Samoa in their first autumn international, but the former Leinster coach will have plenty to ponder before the meeting with his native New Zealand in Dublin on 24 November.
Ireland's narrow defence allowed Australia to grab early control and, although the deficit was reduced to three points for a while, Australia claimed a comprehensive victory while denying their hosts a single try.
Just 24 hours earlier, the same stadium had witnessed what Irish football fans will hope is a new dawn as new managerial pairing Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane kicked off their reign with a 3-0 win over Latvia.
And there had been a similar feelgood factor in rugby circles following the appointment of the astute Schmidt - but long before the final whistle sounded there were thousands of stunned supporters silently trudging homeward after a definite reality check.
Cooper opened the scoring with a ninth-minute penalty after Ireland's offside offence, though Ireland responded with Sexton levelling from the tee on 12 minutes.
Cooper then missed what looked a straightforward penalty, but Australia were soon back in front through their first try, from Cummins in the 17th minute.
The left wing cut in to expose weakness in the home defence after a midfield break from hooker Stephen Moore.
The Irish line was breached again on 24 minutes as Hooper accepted Scott Fardy's back-handed offload for an easy run-in.
Cooper's miss from the conversion was little comfort to a clearly stunned Irish side.
Schmidt's charges did whittle away at the deficit through Sexton's penalties, and open-side Hooper was sin-binned for not rolling away, but the reality was that Ireland had rarely threatened the Australian line.
Cooper crossed for a try six minutes after the restart as confusion between Luke Marshall and replacement fly-half Ian Madigan presented the the Aussie number 10 with a gap.
And another Cooper penalty extended the visitors' lead to 25-15, Madigan claiming three back with a penalty.
Hooper scored his second try as Australian barged over after a line-out, with Cooper's conversion making it 32-15.
Even when they thought they had grabbed a late consolation try, Ireland were to be confounded - penalised for a knock-on in the build-up as replacement Sean Cronin touched down.

As a result it is calling on friends and family members to do more to spot the tell-tale signs of money issues.
These include secretive behaviour, or a tendency always to be buying the latest "must-have" item.
There can also be physical and emotional symptoms that they are in trouble, the Money Advice Service said.
Signs to watch out for include:
The Money Advice Service (MAS) - which is backed by the government- says that getting debt advice can make a big difference to people's lives.
One study suggested that within 3 months of receiving advice, 65% of participants were either repaying their debts, or had cleared them in full.
"Free debt advice is available now and will help support you in getting your finances back on track before your money worries become a bigger issue," said Sheila Wheeler, director of debt advice at the MAS.
Those with access to the internet can use this debt test to help them work out how to resolve their problems.
And they can find out where free advice is available here.
While personal debt has been falling over the last few years, borrowing has been increasing.
Incomes are also being squeezed. Since April inflation has been higher than the growth in wages.
In May the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) showed annual growth of 2.9%, while wages are currently increasing by 2.1% a year.

To look at the stats you wouldn't think so: Apple has two million of them in its App Store and Google Play has a few hundred thousand more than that. Total app downloads have passed the 150 billion mark.
But some are wondering whether apps are about to be replaced by something smaller, smarter and faster.
Bots.
These programs, thanks to AI [artificial intelligence] software in the cloud, can chat to humans via text, extract the meaning and then act on it.
They are little digital helpers.
Any time you see a live chat box open up on a retailer's website, or order a taxi or flowers through chat platforms such as WeChat and Facebook Messenger, you're most likely talking to a bot.
Despite the vast choice of apps open to us, the average number we use is 27, according to research by Nielsen. This hasn't changed for years.
And the problem with apps - and their seemingly endless updates - is that they eat up our smartphone storage capacity alarmingly quickly.
Developers often get a raw deal as well. One estimate suggests that 94% of the cash generated by apps in Apple's App Store goes to just 1% of publishers, and those firms also get 70% of all downloads.
"One of the worst things about the App Store is the App Store itself, because it's such a walled garden," says Ted Nash of Tapdaq, who was a veteran app developer while still a teenager.
Apple's oversight of all apps slows down development and forces programmers to include specific chunks of code that look after adverts, usage statistics and other metrics, he says.
Add to this the trouble of making apps work across lots of different devices and keeping up with changes to Apple software, and it's no wonder some people are disillusioned, he says.
So is app fatigue setting in?
"Apps used to be the big thing," says Kriti Sharma, head of mobile development at accounting software firm Sage. "But many more people are messaging than are posting on social media these days."
This is why she thinks bots are the natural successors to apps - the interface is instantly familiar to customers.
Ms Sharma started her coding career at Barclays, where she co-created its Pingit banking app and oversaw its mobile portfolio.
For companies or brands that want meaningful interaction with customers, a conversation mediated by a bot could work well, she believes.
Sage is developing a bot called Pegg that acts as a smart business assistant. It will help small business owners keep track of outgoings and expenses, making tracking cashflow easier.
"Bots don't have to be super-complicated," says Ms Sharma. "But over time they must add a lot more value for a customer."
Bots are more credible because good progress has been made in writing artificially intelligent software, she says. And also because many companies now have huge amounts of data they can use to fine-tune bot responses.
Another advantage bots have over apps is the speed with which they can be developed, deployed and updated, she argues.
This growing interest is being inflated by work at Facebook, Microsoft and Google, as well as by newer firms such as Slack and HipChat. And start-ups such as Begin, Growbot, Butter, Wisdom and Operator are also helping to take bots mainstream.
One catalyst for the interest was Facebook's announcement earlier this year of a bot framework that streamlines the bot-creation process.
One report suggests that this massive amount of interest has unleashed a $4bn (£3bn) flood of venture capital funding into big and small bot developers.
"Bots are the new black," says Jon Moore, chief product officer at rail ticket booking service, The Trainline.
Although most people now use The Trainline via a smartphone and many regular users have installed its app, the company is keen to investigate what bots can do, Mr Moore says.
For booking train tickets, a website or an app is profoundly better than using a bot, he maintains, but there are times when an app falls short and a conversation handled by a bot may be better.
"We're just at the point of saying it's another interesting piece of technology," he tells the BBC. "We expect that they are going to be useful to us, though it won't work for every context and circumstance."
Tapdaq's Ted Nash warns that though bots might look straightforward, they're not necessarily an easier option.
"A bot is a much more simple technology from a customer perspective, but the AI that powers it is immensely complicated to do," he says.
That difficulty often means that bots are pretty crude.
"A lot of them now have pre-defined inputs and responses," says Mr Nash. "The only way they are going to become truly ubiquitous is when they can respond as a human would."
But even before they do that, says Nick Lane, chief analyst at consultancy MobileSquared, bots are likely to be useful for smoothing out the interactions between customers and companies.
"We'll see bots helping out with customer engagement, queries and product enquiries," he says.
But there is danger in relying too much on a technology still in the early stages of development, he warns.
"Some companies are wondering if they can put their business and reputation in the hands of a computer program."
There is another reason why technology firms are keen to use text-based chatbots, says Mr Lane.
"It could be that they see this interaction as another form of data mining," he says. "People should ask how that information and conversation is going to be used.
"One way or another there is a model evolving around that communication that will see it being monetised."

New York Judge Thomas Griesa said the plan was "lawless".
However, he stopped short of finding the country in contempt of court.
Argentina was trying to get around an earlier court ruling banning it from paying interest to investors who had accepted restructured bonds.
Mr Griesa ruled in July that the country must first pay the hedge funds holding out for full payment on the bonds on which it defaulted in 2001.
"I want to be very clear, this proposal is a violation of the current orders of this court... it is illegal and the court directs that it cannot be carried out," Mr Griesa said on Thursday.
The hedge funds, which bought Argentina's bonds at a big discount after its economic meltdown and previous default in 2001-02, are owed an estimated $1.3bn (£766m).
Argentina has consistently refused to pay them, saying it cannot afford to do so, and called them "vultures" for refusing to swap their bonds for lesser valued ones.
Mr Griesa likened Argentina's stance to a man showing up to complete a house purchase with only $80,000 to buy a $100,000 property and insisting: "$80,000 is a lot of money and my family is ready to move in".
"He would be laughed out of the neighbourhood," the judge added.
On Thursday, Mr Griesa urged the two sides to try and find a compromise.
"If we can have a process leading to settlement, that is the path that should be taken," the judge said.
In July, Argentina's Economy Minister Axel Kicillof flew to New York to try to make a deal with the hedge funds.
However, the talks broke down, forcing Argentina to default on its debt - its second default in 13 years - thus exacerbating problems in its recession-hit economy.

Christopher McAuley, 35, admitted being concerned in the supply of the drugs at his home in Glasgow in September 2016.
Defence advocate Sarah Livingstone said the father of two had been holding the drugs for others and he had no idea of the value or purity.
At the High Court in Glasgow, he was remanded in custody pending sentence.
Prosecutor Keith O'Mahony said: "He was employed as a sales manager for the Arnold Clark motor group, but lost his job as a result of this case."
Police with a search warrant found two white blocks of powder, later forensically confirmed to be cocaine, on top of the fridge in the kitchen.
A further block, which contained heroin, was found in a shoebox in a wardrobe in a bedroom.
The blocks of cocaine were more than 60% pure and the heroin was 28% pure.
Mr O'Mahony said "If adulterated to street level purity of 16% and sold in one gram deals the cocaine had the potential to realise approximately £320,000."
The court was told the heroin would have the potential to realise £12,840.

There will be no announcement before the Senate returns on 22 February, said deputy press secretary Eric Schultz.
Republicans have demanded President Barack Obama - a Democrat - leave the nomination to his successor next year.
Mr Scalia, 79, was found dead at a Texas ranch on Saturday. He died of natural causes, a judge has said.
Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara told the Associated Press news agency she came to that conclusion after speaking to Mr Scalia's doctor and the police.
Why is this a big deal?
Scalia - in his own words
The death of a powerful conservative voice on the bench of the country's highest court threatens to spark a constitutional crisis in the US.
According to the constitution, the president nominates justices to the court and the Senate - currently controlled by the Republicans - uses its "advice and consent" powers to confirm or reject that person.
In recent years, the court has made key rulings on gay marriage, abortion and Mr Obama's key healthcare legislation.
The loss of Mr Scalia means the make-up of the court is now four justices picked by a Democratic president and four by a Republican, so there are four largely liberal voices and four largely conservative.
The conservatives have been in the majority but a new judge could tip the balance, and Republicans running for president are strongly opposed to Mr Obama making his choice.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees - he believes such a key appointment should not be made by a departing president.
But the White House has vowed to press ahead, although there will be no swift decision within days.
"Given that the Senate is currently in recess, we don't expect the president to rush this through this week, but instead will do so in due time once the Senate returns from their recess," said Mr Schultz.
The presidential election is in November, with a new US president to be inaugurated in January 2017.
