Clause 15 - Guidance
Local Government Bill
11:00 am
Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
The Minister's explanation is helpful. I seek one further assurance before urging my colleagues to ask the Committee for its approval to withdraw the amendment.
With regard to the guidance, particularly the CIPFA code on prudential borrowing, will the Minister confirm that it would be the normal practice of the Department, when changing the guidance, to consult widely, particularly with CIPFA and the other main bodies involved?
