    Section 137: Guidance about general best value duty

    360.Section 137 extends the existing power of the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers to give guidance to best value authorities. At present, guidance can be given about the consultation of local people by best value authorities about how the authorities fulfil the general best value duty set out in section 3 of the Local Government Act 1999. The Act confers a more general power to issue statutory guidance to best value authorities about how to fulfil that duty.
