Section 23 – Power of Welsh Ministers to intervene

35.This section sets out the circumstances where the powers to intervene in a local authority may be exercised by the Welsh Ministers.  The powers of intervention are set out in sections 24 to 28.

36.Where the Welsh Ministers are satisfied that one or more of grounds 1 to 3 exist, and they have complied with the warning notice procedure set out in section 22, then they may exercise their powers of intervention.  However, if the Welsh Ministers believe that one or more of grounds 1 to 3 exist, and also believe there is a related risk to health and safety of any person that calls for urgent action, or that the local authority is unlikely to be able to comply or secure compliance with a warning notice, then they do not have to comply with the warning notice procedure before exercising their powers of intervention.
