Does my right hon. Friend agree that we could resolve the argument quickly if the Minister would say unequivocally that “having regard” to guidance may mean that a particular local authority can look at such guidance from the Secretary of State, but conclude that, in particular local circumstances, it should not be implemented? If that were the case, my right hon. Friend might consider that his amendment was not necessary.
