Clause 15 - Guidance
Local Government Bill
11:00 am
Mr Christopher Leslie (Parliamentary Secretary, Cabinet Office; Shipley, Labour)
Certainly, in the normal course of our business we are keen to consult when we make changes to guidance. With regard to the specific provisions to which I have already referred, including the code produced by CIPFA, it would be slightly awkward for us to consult on changes that CIPFA proposed to make to its own code. However, I accept the spirit of
consultation that the hon. Gentleman seeks, and we shall endeavour to do that as best we can.
