I am grateful to the Minister for his clarification of the guidance from my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. Guidance is fine, but from memory I believe it is still open to a local council tax payer or resident to challenge a local authority's accounts if they believe that the local authority has not achieved best value. We need to go beyond guidance and ensure that the legislation all lines up.
