Purpose of the consultation
The Local Government Finance (Wales) Bill (‘the Bill’) has been referred to the Local Government and Housing Committee for Stage 1 scrutiny of the general principles of the Bill.
The information on this page provides more detail about what the Committee is looking at and how you can share your views.

The Committee is considering:
>>>>
>>>The general principles of the Local Government Finance (Wales) Bill and whether there is a need for legislation to deliver the Bill’s stated policy objectives (see the Bill page for further details).
>>>Any potential barriers to the implementation of the Bill’s provisions, and whether the Bill and accompanying Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment take adequate account of them.
>>>Whether there are any unintended consequences arising from the Bill.
>>>The Welsh Government’s assessment of the financial and other impacts of the Bill as set out in Part 2 of the Explanatory Memorandum.
>>>The appropriateness of the powers in the Bill for Welsh Ministers to make subordinate legislation (as set out in Part 1: Chapter 5 of the Explanatory Memorandum).
>>>Matters relating to the competence of the Senedd including compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights.
>>>The balance between the information contained on the face of the Bill and what is left to subordinate legislation.
