As set out in the statutory guidance, the Department considers a range of qualitative and quantitative evidence when assessing whether an authority is complying with its Best Value Duty, including financial reporting and external audit findings. Decisions are based on a holistic assessment of all available information, and no single metric automatically leads to intervention. Ministers continue to require assurance of Tees Valley Combined Authority's compliance with the Best Value Duty and the Best Value Notice remains in place while they consider appropriate next steps based on the available evidence.
To ask His Majesty's Government what specific financial, auditing, or governance thresholds trigger an escalation from a non-statutory Best Value Notice to a full statutory intervention under section 15 of the Local Government Act 1999, particularly in relation to the oversight of major commercial transactions such as the proposed Anthropic...

The statutory guidance on Best Value Standards and Intervention sets out the different forms of intervention and indicators of failure which inform a best value assessment. There are no powers within a Best Value Notice, as it is a non-statutory tool designed to set out the Department’s concerns and request further assurance from an authority.
The Tees Valley Combined Authority’s Best Value Notice sets out that the Authority’s progress will be reviewed after twelve months. The Notice remains in place until the Department confirms whether we deem it necessary to continue to seek assurance through such a Notice or not, or that further action is needed. The Department continues to require assurance of the Authority’s compliance with the Best Value Duty and Ministers are currently considering appropriate next steps based on the available evidence.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will use his powers under section 10 of the Local Government Act 1999 with Cambridge City Council in relation to its adoption of a 4 day week.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will use his powers under section 10 of the Local Government Act 1999 with Cambridge City Council in relation to its adoption of a 4 day week.
Local authorities are independent employers responsible for the management of their own workforces. While it is not government policy to support a four-day working week in local authorities, the government will not intervene using powers under section 10 of the Local Government Act 1999 nor will it be micromanaging local authorities in relation to this working arrangement.
