Section 35: Conduct of local government members and employees
101.Section 35 introduces Schedule 4. That Schedule amends Part 3 of the Local Government Act 2000 on the conduct of local government members and employees. Until this section and Schedule come into force it is the responsibility of the Local Commissioner for Wales (established under Part 3 of the Local Government Act 1974) to investigate alleged breaches by a relevant authority in Wales of its code of conduct. Section 35 and Schedule 4 makes provision so that it will now be for the Ombudsman to discharge those functions.
