Terms of reference
The terms of reference for the review has been set out in accordance with
the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Hilary Armstrong:
The review will:
-
Define the policy areas (and their enforcement mechanisms) that come
under the remit of local authority regulatory services,
-
Collect and collate the evidence on the relative priority of these policy
areas for central government, local citizens and business, and
-
Make recommendations on around five policy areas that are central
government priorities for local authorities, based on their level of
risk, political priority and the perceptions of citizens and business.
In doing this, the review will work with central government departments,
independent regulators, local authorities, citizens and businesses, and
will report at Budget 2007.
