Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (“the Act”) established a new ethical framework for local government in Wales. Section 50(2) of the Act provides that the National Assembly for Wales may by Order issue a model code as regards the conduct which is expected of members and co-opted members of relevant authorities in Wales. The relevant authorities are county and county borough councils, community councils, fire authorities and National Park authorities but not police authorities. A Code of Conduct issued by the National Assembly for Wales under section 50(2) of the Act must be consistent with the principles specified by the National Assembly for Wales under section 49(2) of the Act.

The Conduct of Members (Model Code of Conduct) (Wales) Order 2001 (“the 2001 Order”) made under section 50(2) of the Act prescribed a Model Code of Conduct for members of relevant authorities.

This Order amends the 2001 Order, by inserting a new Article 4 which disapplies existing statutory provisions relating to (among others) the National Code of Local Government Conduct in Wales.
