What the courts have been doing since the 2003 Act is apply the guidelines by taking account or having regard to them. If the Secretary of State is reducing this debate to a semantic discussion about the meaning of the word "follow", we have been wasting our time. I have a suspicion that "follow" means something more directional than "take account of".
