Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (“the Act”) establishes a new ethical framework for local government in Wales.
Section 82(2) of the Act provides that the National Assembly for Wales may, by order, issue a code as regards the conduct of certain employees of relevant public authorities in Wales (“the code of conduct”). The relevant authorities are community, county and county borough councils, fire authorities and National Park authorities but not police authorities.
