Proceeding contribution from Mike Freer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Services (Social Value) Bill.

Public Services (Social Value) Bill

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.
