Part 10A, Section 204V: Appeals Part 10A, Section 204W: Secretary of State: Guidance Effect
This section gives the Secretary of State power to issue statutory guidance for charging authorities or any other public authority about any matter connected with IL. Such authorities must have regard to that guidance.
Example (1): Giving guidance to an independent person carrying out an examination
This power would enable the Secretary of State to give guidance to charging authorities or any other public authority about any matter connected with IL. This could be about, for example, guidance on the collection of IL, how to carry out an independent examination into an IL charging schedule or any other function which is carried out in the IL system. If the Secretary of State issues guidance under this section, the authority to whom the guidance is given would need to have regard to it.
