The Local Government Act 1999 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, applicable to a wide range of local authorities in England and Wales. It was promoted by a Labour government, in the first years of the First Blair ministry, and was described, in 2000, as "arguably most significant local government legislation for a decade". Part 2 of the Act replaced a prior system of universal caps on authority precepts and taxes, in favour of discretionary reserve capping powers, providing flexibility to the Secretary of State in deciding whether to intervene in authority budgeting.

  • The Local Government Act 1999 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom, applicable to a wide range of local authorities in England and Wales. It was promoted by a Labour government, in the first years of the First Blair ministry, and was described, in 2000, as "arguably most significant local government legislation for a decade". Part 1 of the Act introduced legal requirements for continuous improvement of services within a Best Value framework, expressed in terms of economy, efficiency and effectiveness. It mandated a transition from previous requirements for compulsory competitive tendering. It also introduced a regime of audit and inspection to assure the implementation and operation of Best Value, coupled with new powers of central government intervention in authorities failing to meet Best Value requirements. Part 2 of the Act replaced a prior system of universal caps on authority precepts and taxes, in favour of discretionary reserve capping powers, providing flexibility to the Secretary of State in deciding whether to intervene in authority budgeting. Provisions of the Act apply to local authorities (i.e. local government councils) as well as police, fire, waste, passenger transport, national park, development agency, and other authorities. (en)
