Original consultation

Summary

We are seeking views on proposals to update the guidance on Local Authorities Investments and on Minimum Revenue Provision.

This consultation ran from
9am on 10 November 2017 to 11:45pm on 22 December 2017

Consultation description

The Prudential System is comprised of 4 statutory codes. The Department for Communities and Local Government is responsible for preparing the guidance on Local Authority Investments and the guidance on Minimum Revenue Provision.

Over the past years the regulatory and economic environment has changed significantly and led the sector to consider more innovative types of investment activity. The government has also monitored changes in the practices used for calculating Minimum Revenue Provision.

As a result the government proposes to update the guidance as part of the more general update of the statutory codes comprising the prudential framework.
