LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Under the provisions of Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 ethical standards officers may carry out investigations into allegations that a member of a relevant authority in England has failed to comply with the authority’s code of conduct. A Local Commissioner in Wales may carry out a similar investigation into an allegation that a member of a police authority in Wales has failed to comply with the authority’s code of conduct. The ethical standards officer or the Local Commissioner, as the case may be, may choose to refer the matters under investigation and send the report on the outcome of his investigation to the monitoring officer of any authority concerned. These Regulations make provision in respect of the way such matters referred to monitoring officers are to be dealt with.
